"The Art History of China Since 1979" is a revised edition based on my prior works, namely "A History of China Modern Art: 1979 - 1989" (co-authored with Yi Dan, published in 1992) and "A History of China Contemporary Art: 1990-1999" (published in 2000), both completed in 1990. As a witness to the transformative period from 1979 to 1999, an observer of the evolution of avant-garde art in China during these two decades, I have meticulously organized and documented the artists, events, and trends of this era.
This compilation serves as a material background and foundation for future readers, particularly students studying the history of contemporary Chinese art, aiming to establish a logical understanding of the development of new art in China since 1979.
