{"product_id":"15400-mahjong","title":"Mahjong","description":"\u003cp\u003eChina is booming. In the wake of economic liberalization, the nation\u0026#39;s art scene has literally taken flight as well. The Swiss collector Uli Sigg, formerly his country\u0026#39;s ambassador in Beijing, has followed the rapid pace of developments since the nineteen-eighties and has since compiled the world\u0026#39;s largest collection of contemporary Chinese art, comprising more than 1,200 works by some 80 artists. This splendid catalogue presents more than 200 of Sigg\u0026#39;s paintings, drawings, sculptures, photographs, video pieces, and installations, along with such curiosities as Mao posters on large color photographs. In addition to a number of famous works - Ai Weiwei\u0026#39;s Han vase with Coca-Cola logo, Fang Lijun\u0026#39;s bald heads, or Xu Bing\u0026#39;s entirely fictional calligraphy - the book also offers readers a unique opportunity to discover numerous talents who are still largely unknown in the West. Insiders provide commentary on this exciting overview of contemporary art in China.
