Description
"Deftly slicing through both cliché and convention, Peggy Wang refreshes our sense of the ‘world’ by showing how Chinese art since the 1980s has as much to say about the very nature of art history as it does about art's role in the creation and critique of a new Chinese ‘century.’"—Joan Kee, University of Michigan
"With a synthetic and focused point of view, Peggy Wang ardently advocates for listening to artists and looking at their artwork on its own terms, rather than through general preconceptions about China. She sensitively explores the most deeply personal struggles with the meaning of art-making that lie behind the distinctive individual resolutions these men and women achieve. The Future History of Contemporary Chinese Art is a significant and much needed contribution to the history of Chinese and global contemporary art."—Kuiyi Shen, University of California, San Diego
