Chinese Artists: New Media 1990 - 2010
This book explores the other side of Chinese contemporary art through the works of 19 artists working
in new media. Alternative practices in Chinese contemporary art have often been overlooked in favor of
gimmicky, pop-inspired art. This book contributes to a deeper and richer understanding of Chinese art
today. Each artist is introduced through a retrospective of their career with captions accompanying
images to help readers better understand the work. Artists included are: Liang Shaoji, Zhang Peili,
Wang Jianwei, Geng Jianyi, Gu Dexin, Liu Jianhua, Yin Xiuzhen, Song Dong, Wang Qingsong, Zhao
Bandi, Yang Zhenzhong, Qiu Zhijie, Zheng Guogu, Yang Fudong, Liu Wei, Qiu Anxiong, Xu Zhen/
MadeIn, Cao Fei, and Liang Yue.
The book is published by Schiffer Publishing and is also available through Amazon.
