Between State and Market: Chinese Contemporary Art in the Post-Mao Era examines the shift in the system of support for contemporary art in China between 1979 and 1993, from state patronage to the art market and the creative space in between.
Soaring prices for contemporary art has triggered a debate about the deleterious impact of the market on art. Yet Jane DeBevoise argues that, in the post-Mao period, the imaginary of the marketplace was liberating, offering artists an alternative framework of legitimacy and support. Based on primary research, DeBevoise examines the entangled role of the state and the market, and the negotiations of and how experimental artists and their champions in China negotiated to find a creative space between the two systems, to produce and promote their work.
