O lugar da arte contemporânea na china: mercado e globalização

Abstract

In a context of changes in the dynamics of capitalism, new players are established in the art market, as analyzed here from the Chinese example. The purpose of this study is the meaning of the role that contemporary art takes on the Chinese configuration of the art system. It seeks to elucidate, at first, the historical context that surrounds the emergence of contemporary Chinese art, its developments and meanings until the current scenario. From these considerations, some actors that underpin the Chinese market are preceded and discussed so that, finally, it is understood and positioned within the globalization process.
