ABOUT
Established in New York in 2000, Chambers Fine Art was one of the first galleries to specialize in contemporary Chinese art in the United States. From the beginning its focus was not on the large group of oil painters who largely catered to a western market but to the rising generation of artists who utilized video, photography, performance and conceptual approaches in their exploration of life in China in the twenty-first century. Among the prominent artists associated with Chambers Fine Art should be mentioned Ai Weiwei, Wang Jianwei, Lu Shengzhong and Qiu Zhijie who came to prominence in the 1990s and younger artists such as Zheng Guogu, Wu Jian??an and Shi Jinsong.
From the beginning Chambers Fine Art believed that it was important to document the work of this rising generation of artists. To this end it worked with leading scholars in the field such as Wu Hung, well known as a curator in numerous biennial exhibitions (Shanghai, Gwangju etc.) and Robert Harrist (Jane and Leopold Swergold Professor of Chinese Art History, Columbia University) who has recently completed the introduction for the forthcoming exhibition Opposites Attract: Lu Shengzhong's "Square Earth Round Heaven"). The catalogues are generally designed by the artists.
