This is a collection of Chinese art from its burgeoning capital city. The Ludwig Museum in Koblenz, Germany, has positioned itself as a exhibitor of contemporary Chinese art. In this catalog, fifteen young artists display a great variety of genres, styles and themes. The book presents Mu Boyan's sculpture, Fang Lijun's sardonic takes on traditional painting, Shi Chong's startling photorealism, and Yue Minjun's ironic, broadly grinning figures. These and other artists, including Xu Bing, Fang Lijun and Yan Pei-Ming, communicate ideas of alienation, disillusionment, and cynicism that point to a growing honesty emerging from China's younger citizens.
