A Modern History of China's Art Market by Kejia Wu
This is the first English-language account of the modern history of Chinas art market that explains the radical transformations from the end of the Cultural Revolution, when a market for art and artifacts did not exist, to today.There is much to be learned from this fascinating volume on the history and economics of the art market in the People’s Republic, so radically affected by political events of the last seventy yearsReaders interested in the restitution of looted works of art will discover a relatively unknown seam of material on the Cultural Revolution and its aftermath, enriched by Kejia Wu’s inclusion of personal recollections and experiences of those involved.

It is rare to find a book that embeds art into the broader political events and economic transformation of a nation. Kejia Wu’s perspective is unique – she was part of the re-emergence of contemporary art in China, and the re-integration of China into the global art world and market, and has remained an authoritative commentator and analyst about the art and markets of China. Her stories are fascinating, the writing is engaging and the tale she tells is an important one about the role of art, and arts institutions in the modern world.
