by Lothar Albrecht, Urs Meile, Dieter Ronte, Uli Sigg, Zheng Shengtian


Article Description

A symposium on China's Art held at the MdM Mönchsberg in Salzburg in conjunction with the exhibition Mahjong: Chinese Contemporary Art from the Sigg Collection. Here, gallerists, collectors, and curators debate the hype that surrounds contemporary Chinese art within the arenas of both the market and the museum. The decisive challenges that face contemporary artists and gallerists, among them catering to a hungry market or making history, are tackled in candid and thoughtful ways.
