The most complete monograph of China's most famous photographer. Oversized and impressive staged images that trace the changes of China's last decades. Since turning from painting to photography in the late 1990s, Beijing-based artist Wang Qingsong has created compelling works that convey an ironic vision of 21st-century China's encounter with global consumer culture. In Wang Qingsong's works, the artist's deep-seated attachment to his country mixes with frequent dismay at its boom-era excesses.
