Review Quotes
Jerome Silbergeld, Princeton University
“Paul Gladston is one of the few, among many, writers on contemporary Chinese art whom I really find worth reading and thinking about.”
Jason C. Kuo, University of Maryland, College Park
“‘Avant-Garde’ Art Groups in China, 1979–1989 is one of the most thought-provoking books on the subject of contemporary Chinese art. It addresses head-on the problematic identity and cultural politics of contemporary Chinese art in the late 1970s and 1980s. At the same time, it gives reader unfamiliar with the field a theoretically sophisticated introduction. A must-read even for those already familiar with pressing issues related to globalization and contemporary art in general.”
Journal of Asian Studies
“Gladston’s interviews will be of value to readers seeking to understand the roots of contemporary Chinese art. . . . an excellent sourcebook through which to discover the contentious, politicized discourse of Chinese artistic modernity in the 1980s.”
