Description |
The series of exhibitions of contemporary art from China of which this is a part has been a long time in the making. It results from the Museum's policy of showing the unknown or neglected art histories of non-western countries. Following Reconstructions: Avant-Garde Art in Japan 1945-1965 which took place in 1985 we started to work on a similar project in China and agreed with Wang Meng, the Minister of Culture at that time, that we should plan an exhibition which analytically and untenditiously showed the development of Chinese art from 1949, the time of the Communist 'liberation', to the present. |
