Chinese Contemporary Art is written by Melissa Chiu and published by Timezone 8. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0978576438 (ISBN 10) and 9780978576431 (ISBN 13).

Melissa Chiu, Director of the Asia Society in New York, addresses the scope of the Chinese art scene in a simple yet informative publication. Points include: Contemporary art in China began decades ago; Museums and galleries have promoted Chinese contemporary art since the 1990s; Contemporary art museums in China are on the rise; The world is collecting Chinese contemporary art. With color and illustrations and biographies. At only 110 pages, you would be forgiven for thinking that 7 things is hardly equipped to cover the details of such a diverse art movement. However, the writing style is intelligent and there is much insight to be gained from this little book. And as 7 things points out, there are few reference books for the reader who wants a quick but precise history of the field.
