Nine Lives, The Birth of Avant-Garde Art in New China The Updated Edition
Karen Smith Press ReleaseWritten and published well before the art market exploded and the price of anything Chinese in contemporary art rose sky-high, Nine Lives was conceived in order to fill an existing void. It was the first publication in English to attempt to map out a comprehensive art history from Mao's death to today. The second edition, coming only two years after the book first appeared, proves that it is still fulfilling its initial mission.
