Chinese artists have actually been striving for decades to catch up with and participate in the world’s artistic discourse; finally, the world has been reciprocating, with mounting - and sometimes irrational – enthusiasm. Chinese artists now rattle the cages of the art world the way British artists did in the 90s: everybody wants a piece of them, although not everybody is sure what pieces to want.Author Archive
