China Now until 27.01.2008 Cobra Museum, Amstelveen (NL)

With its impressive "China Now" exhibition the Cobra Museum is the first to launch a series of exhibitions devoted to Chinese avant-garde art. Other museums in our northern provinces will shortly follow suit. In China a true explosion of contemporary forms of artistic expression have been taking place since the nineteen nineties. In "China Now" the most remarkable and significant developments in Chinese contemporary art are revealed. The round 100 works by 42 artists in the show are part of the famous collection of contemporary art from the Essl Museum (near Vienna).
