Chinese Art Stimulus


I recently read an article about the Chinese art market going through tough times. It also stated that there are signs that a comeback may be near.

It appears that several galleries closed early this year. Contemporary art has particularly taken a hit. It seems that the Chinese government has intervened and a stimulus package (monetary assistance) has been provided to both Shanghai and Beijing.

I enjoy Chinese art and last fall I was able to view a great exhibition, Power and Glory, Court Arts of China’s Ming Dynasty. The exhibition highlighted the period of cultural vitality, political stability and economic strength. Maybe China will take a close look at their history.

You can find great art books, art exhibition catalogs, local history books and magazine back issues at Nella’s Books and Collectibles.
