BUY EAST, YOUNG MAN



THE REVOLUTION CONTINUES:
New Art From China
Saatchi Gallery
hardcover, 2008
60.00

Ten years ago, the passenger seated next to me on a 14 hour flight from Bangkok to London advised me to look toward asia if I had any interest in playing the big-money art game.

Charles Saatchi, one of the savviest figures in the contemporary art scene, has built an unparalleled collection of new Chinese art, unveiled to the public in 2005 for the opening of his Chelsea, London gallery. Presented here in glorious color reproductions, this is first book to bring contemporary Chinese art into focus.
