BERLIN.- The Zhong Gallery in Berlin will open its doors on January 21 as Europe’s first gallery for contemporary art founded by Chinese gallerists, presenting perspectives on Chinese art which have received little attention from the European art scene so far. The opening exhibition “Dawn – New Art from China” will be showing work by the artists Chen Yujun, Li Jikai, Li Qing, Wang Guangle, Wang Yabin, Wu Di, Yuan Yuan, Zhong Zhang and UNMASK. Over the course of the last decade, Chinese art has succeeded in establishing itself on the international art market, however its real market value is not to be measured purely in terms of the activities of largely foreign art dealers. In order to really ascertain its worth, what is required is contextualization, critical engagement and an understanding for the complex and often conflict-laden relationship between Chinese and western culture.
