Features: Currently, contemporary art in China is in a period of rapid development. Since the 21st century, the rise of the art market has broken the single development chain in the past, which was primarily centered on artists and critics. The prosperity of the art market has accelerated the overall development of the ecological chain of contemporary art in China, giving rise to a symbiotic art ecosystem involving artists, critics, curators, agents, collectors, and the public. This presents an undeniable opportunity for contemporary art and will drive its rapid development. However, due to the strong impact of the market, with insufficient preparation in all aspects of the contemporary art field, artists often rely on market-oriented packaging and marketing rather than academic evaluation. This has also led to ambiguity in the judgment of contemporary art values and the disorder of the contemporary art market. For these reasons, the purpose of this book is to influence market trends through the value judgments of critics on contemporary art, and to academically recognize artists with originality and works with academic value during the development of contemporary art. This aims to bridge the gap between creation, evaluation, appreciation, and collection, providing valuable insights for collectors. By guiding the market with academia, it seeks to build a healthy and conducive environment for the growth and development of contemporary art.
