With a fast-growing international market and a thriving artistic community  contemporary Chinese art is riding a wave of prosperity  though issues of censorship still abound. Shedding light on the current art scene  Paul Gladstons Contemporary Chinese Art puts Chinas recent artistic output into the context of the wider cultural  economic  and political conditions that surround it.

Illustrated with 150 images  Contemporary Chinese Art unravels the complexities of politics  artistic practice  and culture in play in Chinas art scene.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45953307410485,"sku":"ByrdShop_1780232691","price":53.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781780232690.jpg?v=1788184666","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/contemporary-chinese-art-a-critical-history-9781780232690","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
