An exhibition on photos, videos and installations made by
Chinese artists and collected by a US couple will open for display
at the China Art Gallery (CAG) in Beijing.
More than 50 pieces of photographs, videos and installations by
14 Chinese contemporary artists are expected to be shown at the
retrospective, titled "Focus: China Contemporary Art," from Nov.
5to 20, according to Feng Yuan, CAG's curator.
Most of the items are collection of the Haudenschild couple from
San Diego, who are among the most prestigious collectors of
contemporary Chinese artworks.
"The exhibition items epitomize the lives of contemporary
Chinese people, and the changing society and value system from new
perspectives", Feng said.
Although influenced by western artistic concepts, the works
still have Chinese styles and characters, he said.
The works were shown at various international exhibitions,
including the Venice Biennale, the Shanghai Biennale, the Kassell
Documenta, the Yokohama Triennial of Contemporary Art, those at the
New York-based Museum of Modern Art and Tokyo Mori Art Museum,
according to Feng.
It is the first time that foreign collectors have brought
Chinese photos and video works back to China's capital, he
said.
