Starting A Collection

Why Collect Chinese Contemporary Art?

The emergence of post Cultural Revolution artists in the 1990's sparked a worldwide fascination in contemporary Chinese art. With good reason - the new Chinese art astonished everyone with its radical outlook and profound concepts. Indeed, it was the antithesis of the so-called "Peoples Art" that the West had become familiar with since the 1970's. Despite censorship and repression, the new art exploded in China and the West with a diversity of styles including painting, sculpture, performance, video and installation works.

Chinese contemporary art continues to excite interest in the media and represents a significant and growing sector of the international art market. Works of Chinese contemporary art are in important metropolitan museums including, San Francisco Museum, Staedlijk Museum, Amsterdam, the British Museum, Asian Art Museum, Fukuoka, Japan, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Australia and the Museum of Modern Art, New York., as well as major private and corporate collections world-wide.

A decade ago, purchasing a work by a young Chinese artist may have been a mere leap of faith - but today it is a solid investment that steadily accrues value as these artists rise to international stardom. What could be more fascinating to all who seek the thrill of acquiring art at the cutting edge of a movement?

Art can speak volumes about a company's culture and values. An art collection can communicate a strong message about a corporation's role in the community, its global status and concerns, furthering and enhancing your corporate profile in the market place.

China Avant-Garde creates collections based on specific concerns. With careful selection, art works may directly reflect core business, global identity or a specific product range. We also offer corporations the opportunity to commission specific works for projects, in both China and the United States.

As a discerning corporation, you may require a distinctive collection that parallels your business goals in the regions where business is focused. With its increasing global status, China is one power with which no corporation can ignore the possibility of forging business and cultural links.


Working With Corporations

China Avant-Garde works with corporations to develop an acquisitions plan in which you are confident, matching both budgetary and aesthetic parameters of your company. An acquisitions plan can be based on the purchase or commission of one individual work, or a customized portfolio of works. Either plan is designed to be a financial asset for your corporation.
