    Joan Lebold Cohen Interview Transcript

    www.china1980s.org INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT JOAN LEBOLD COHEN Interviewer: Jane DeBevoise Date:31 Oct 2009 Duration: about 2 hours Location: New York Jane DeBevoise (JD): It would be great if you could speak a little bit about how you got to China, when you got to China – with dates specific to the ‘80s, and how you saw the 80’s develop. From your perspective what were some of the key moments in terms of the arts? Joan Lebold Cohen (JC): First of all, I should say that I had been to China three times before the 1980s. I went twice in 1972, once on a delegation in May for over three weeks, which took us to Beijing, Luoyang, Xi’an, and Shanghai and we flew into Nanchang too because there were clouds over Guangzhou and the planes couldn’t fly in. This was a period when, if you wanted to have a meal and you were flying, the airplane would land so that you could go to a restaurant (Laughter). They were old, Russian airplanes, and you sat in folding chairs. The conditions were rather…primitive. But I remember going down to the Shanghai airport and having the most delicious ‘8-precious’ pudding and sweet buns – they were fantastic. I also went to China in 1978. For each trip, I had requested to meet artists and to go to exhibitions, but was denied the privilege. However, there was one time, when I went to an exhibition in May of 1972 and it was one of the only exhibitions that exhibited Cultural Revolution model paintings; it was very amusing.

    Tiancheng Press Release

    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE TIANCHENG INTERNATIONAL’S SPRING AUCTION OF MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY ART WILL BE HELD ON 6 APRIL 2013 AT HONG KONG Hong Kong, 28 February - Tiancheng International will present its Spring SaLe of Modern and Contemporary Art on 6 April at The Connaught Room, 1/F of Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong. Seeking to promote the thread of Chinese culture and traditions, Tiancheng International attempts to demonstrate the artists’ contribution of their inheriting and spreading traditional Chinese aesthetic spirits. Inspired by the musical arrangement, the auction is divided into three sections including Overture, Concerto and Symphony to present the development of Chinese Modern and Contemporary Art over the course from the early 20th century till nowadays. Public preview will start from 4 to 5 April at Hong Kong. THE FIRST SECTION – OVERTURE Around the 1920’s, the Qing Dynasty came to an end and the Republic of China was established. Many of those with aspirations flocked to the West to study Western art, building up a robust “New China”. From then on, a series of art revolutions started off. The advocate of art magazines, the birth of many Western art groups and the establishment of specialised art institutions all conceived the tone set for the development of China’s modern art education in the early 20th Century. In particular, as an advocate of “East meets West” and creative freedom, the Hangzhou Arts School paved the way for the eXtension of China’s art history onto far- reaching cultural axes. In the midst of all the collisions between East and West, they composed a passionate overture for the first half of the 20th century.

    WHY-NEW-YORK-Artworks-List.Pdf

    “Why New York” 是陈丹青、马可鲁、冯良鸿三人组合的第四次展览。这三位在中国当代艺术的不同阶 段各领风骚的画家在1990年代的纽约聚首，在曼哈顿和布鲁克林既丰饶又严酷的环境中白手起家，互 相温暖呵护，切磋技艺。到了新世纪，三人不约而同地回到中国，他们不忘艺术的初心，以难忘的纽约 岁月为缘由，频频举办联展。他们的组合是出于情谊，是在相互对照和印证中发现和发展各自的面目， 也是对艺术本心的坚守和砥砺。 不同于前几次带有回顾性的展览，这一次三位艺术家呈现了他们阶段性的新作。陈丹青带来了对毕加 索等西方艺术家以及中国山水及书法的研究，他呈现“画册”的绘画颇具观念性，背后有复杂的摹写、转 译、造型信息与图像意义的更替演化等话题。马可鲁的《Ada》系列在“无意识”中蕴含着规律，呈现出 书写性，在超越表面的技巧和情感因素的画面中触及“真实的自然”。冯良鸿呈现了2012年以来不同的 几种方向，在纯色色域的覆盖与黑白意境的推敲中展现视觉空间的质感。 在为展览撰写的文章中，陈丹青讲述了在归国十余年后三人作品中留有的纽约印记。这三位出生于上海 的画家此次回归家乡，又一次的聚首凝聚了岁月的光华，也映照着他们努力前行的年轻姿态。 “Why New York” marks the fourth exhibition of the artists trio, Chen Danqing, Ma Kelu and Feng Lianghong. Being the forerunners at the various stages in the progress of Chinese contemporary art, these artists first met in New York in the 1990s. In that culturally rich yet unrelenting environment of Manhattan and Brooklyn, they single-handedly launched their artistic practice, provided camaraderie to each other and exchanged ideas about art. In the new millennium, they’ve returned to China respectively. Bearing in mind their artistic ideals, their friendship and experiences of New York reunite them to hold frequent exhibitions together. With this collaboration built on friendship, they continue to discover and develop one’s own potential through the mirror of the others, as they persevere and temper in reaching their ideals in art. Unlike the previous retrospective exhibitions, the artists present their most recent works. Chen Danqing’s study on Picasso and other Western artists along with Chinese landscape painting and calligraphy is revealed in his conceptual painting “Catalogue”, a work that addresses the complex notions of drawing, translation, compositional lexicon and pictorial transformation. Ma Kelu’s “Ada” series embodies a principle of the “unconscious”, whose cursive and hyper expressive techniques adroitly integrates with the emotional elements of the painting to render “true nature”.

The question of diasporic positionality is inherent in the relationship between aesthetic and ethical discourses, for the two discourses were born in a Western tradition, once foreign to Mu Xin.

[1] To the eighty-five works borrowed from France, the Shanghai Museum was able to add a single work from its own collection: an academic drawing of a seated male nude, probably dating from the early years of the nineteenth century (fig. 1). The drawing, long attributed to Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, has been in the possession of the museum since 1977, but it had never been shown by the institution before.

    Chinese Contemporary Art things you should know By Melissa Chiu Contents Introduction / 4 1 . Contemporary art in China began decades ago. / 14 2 . Chinese contemporary art is more diverse than you might think. / 34 3 . Museums and galleries have promoted Chinese contemporary art since the 1990s. / 44 4 . Government censorship has been an influence on Chinese artists, and sometimes still is. / 52 5 . The Chinese artists’ diaspora is returning to China. / 64 6 . Contemporary art museums in China are on the rise. / 74 7 . The world is collecting Chinese contemporary art. / 82 Conclusion / 90 Artist Biographies / 98 Further Reading / 110 Introduction 4 Sometimes it seems that scarcely a week goes by without a newspaper or magazine article on the Chinese contemporary art scene. Record-breaking auction prices make good headlines, but they also confer a value on the artworks that few of their makers would have dreamed possible when those works were originally created— sometimes only a few years ago, in other cases a few decades. It is easy to understand the artists’ surprise at their flourishing market and media success: the secondary auction market for Chinese contemporary art emerged only recently, in 2005, when for the first time Christie’s held a designated Asian Contemporary Art sale in its annual Asian art auctions in Hong Kong. The auctions were a success, including the modern and contemporary sales, which brought in $18 million of the $90 million total; auction benchmarks were set for contemporary artists Zhang Huan, Yan Pei-Ming, Yue Minjun, and many others. The following year, Sotheby’s held its first dedicated Asian Contemporary sale in New York.

    James Cox Interview Transcript

    www.china1980s.org INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT JAMES COX Interviewer: Jane DeBevoise Date:10 Nov 2009 Duration: about 1 hr 27 mins Location: New York Jane DeBevoise (JD): I would love for you to talk a little bit about Grand Central Gallery, what it represented, whom it represented, your impressions about the exhibition, and how relationships were developed. You can tell any stories you want to tell. To begin, can you talk a little bit about Grand Central Gallery, how it was positioned and how you came upon these artists? James Cox (JC): I came to New York in 1976, and the reason my wife and I came was that I got a job, which is always a wonderful opportunity. I was 30 years old. I met my wife in Oklahoma City when we were in college together. Her father was an artist who showed in Chicago, New York, and Santa Fe. The New York gallery that represented him was the Grand Central Gallery. He was very familiar with the staff but more importantly he was familiar with the first Director of Grand Central Galley, who founded the gallery in 1922. He had been director for 56 years and was ready to retire. My father-in-law kept saying, ‘You really ought to go to New York and get in touch with the board; let them know that you are available…’, and so on. So I did that. I was very lucky to be hired. In brief, the gallery was set up to showcase American art, and was backed up by prominent American businessman including very major names in business, banking, and law.
