Mahjong: Contemporary Chinese Art from the Sigg Collection

Only $124.49
Description

China is booming! In the wake of economic liberalization, the nations art scene has taken flight as well. The Swiss collector Uli Sigg, formerly his countrys ambassador to Beijing, has followed the rapid pace of development since the 1980s, compiling along the way the worlds largest collection of contemporary Chinese art, comprising more than 1,200 works by some 180 artists. Mahjong, named after the popular and ancient Chinese game of chance, presents more than 200 paintings, drawings, sculptures, photographs, video pieces, and installations from Siggs collection. Alongside them hang such curiosities as vintage Mao posters. In addition to a number of internationally famous works, such as Ai Weiweis Han vase with Coca-Cola logo, Fang Lijuns bald heads, or Xu Bings "Xinglish" calligraphy, this book also offers readers a unique opportunity to discover tremendously gifted artists still largely unknown outside China.
