ISBN: 9780939117529.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis stunning art, culture and history book profiles Chinas most prolific and dynamic city.\n\nShanghais tumultuous history has resulted in the progressive and stylish city of today. For more than a century and a half artists have been both documenting the citys changes and leading its way into the future.\n\nTimed to coincide with the Shanghai World Expo in 2010 (and a city-wide Shanghai Celebration in San Francisco, its sister city), Shanghai catalogs the first exhibition to explore one of Chinas most cosmopolitan cities. A case study in cultural globalization, the book traces, through its art, factors behind the citys distinctive character.\n\nLavishly illustrated, this oversized book features 128 oil paintings, Shanghai deco furniture and rugs, revolutionary posters, works of fashion, movie clips and contemporary installations. These artworks, drawn mainly from the collections of the Shanghai Museum, the Shanghai Art Museum, the Shanghai City History Museum and the Lu Xun Memorial Hall, include the most significant visual documents of the citys rich and ever-changing culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tuttle Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44987621310517,"sku":"ByrdShop_0939117525","price":28.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780939117529_b0fce982-4837-4655-845d-a91c134ca98d.jpg?v=1778951809","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/shanghai-art-of-the-city-9780939117529","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
