Squatters
ISBN: 9789073362536 / Angielski / Miękka / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

ISBN: 9780300122084 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The art world is currently enthralled with contemporary Chinese art.

Outside In discusses contemporary Chinese art in a far wider range of styles and subject matter and substantially expands on our understanding of this work. The book features six artists--Arnold Chang, Michael Cherney, Zhi Lin, Liu Dan, Vannessa Tran, and Zhang Hongtu--all of...
