Abstract
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 readers unfamiliar with the field a theoretically sophisticated introduction.
