Virtuosic, large-scale figurative paintings that capture contemporary anxieties in harsh reliefPublished to accompany a major site-specific installation in Venice, Yu Hong: Another One Bites the Dust offers an in-depth examination of the work of one of China’s foremost living artists, renowned internationally for her virtuosic large-scale figurative paintings. Yu Hong’s (born 1966) practice centers on humane depictions of contemporary life that are both deeply personal and astute in their observations of larger societal realities. Featuring beautiful installation photography of Venice’s Chiesetta della Misericordia, this book presents a new cycle of works painted on gold ground that depict the arc of human experience while referencing aspects of Buddhist narrative painting, Byzantine icons and the Italian Baroque. Through her lushly painted stories, she considers the radical changes pressed on humanity by the speed and totality of globalization, the existential climate emergency, diaspora and dispossession in many parts of the world, and the uneven histories of postcolonialism. Yu Hong’s subject is the precarity of meaning in the face of calamitous disruption.

Triptyque 2000 – 23.12.2001 by the late contemporary artist Zao Wou-Ki (1920–2013) is an important work that highlights the expressive possibilities arising from the intersection of different cultural traditions and pictorial languages, reflecting the artist’s own background as a Chinese painter who settled in Paris at a relatively young age (where his work was praised by Picasso and Miró among others). Blending traditional Chinese aesthetics with Western Modernist techniques, the triptych is a lyrical representation of nature that transcends visual perception. This volume contains essays by Alexandra Munroe of the Guggenheim Museums and Foundation, who made a notable contribution to the exhibition catalogue for No Limits: Zao Wou-Ki at the Asia Society Museum in 2009, and Yann Hendgen of the Zao Wou-Ki Foundation.

Surveys experimental art in China between the years 1989 and 2008. Published on the occasion of the largest exhibition of contemporary art from China ever mounted in North America, organized by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Art and China after 1989: Theater of the World explores recent experimental art from what is arguably the most transformative period of modern Chinese and recent world history. Featuring over 150 iconic and lesser-known artworks by more than 70 artists and collectives, this catalogue offers an interpretative survey of Chinese experimental art framed by the geopolitical dynamics attending the end of the Cold War, the spread of globalization, and the rise of China. Critical essays explore how Chinese artists have been both agents and skeptics of China’s arrival as a global presence, while an extensive entry section offers detailed analysis on works made in a broad range of experimental mediums, including film and video, ink, installation, Land art, performance, as well as painting and photography. In addition, an appendix includes a selected history of contemporary art exhibitions in China, biographies of featured artists, and a bibliography.
