'Chinese Art: The Impossible Collection'

Assouline's 'Impossible Collection' continues to grow with the addition of 'Chinese Art', an expansive volume that spotlights 100 works of contemporary art against the backdrop of the country's rapid transformation in a dramatic era of change. Presented in chronological order, with traditional early twentieth century paintings presented at the start of the book and concluding with innovative works by some of the nation's most cutting edge young designers, 'Chinese Art' introduces a series of conversations and themes that are further explored in essays and commentary from a trio of experts on Chinese art—Philip Tinari of the UCAA in Beijing, Alexandra Munroe of New York's Guggenheim and Karen Smith of OCAT Contemporary Art Terminal in Xi’an. Authored by Adrian Cheng and John Dodelande.
