Chinese contemporary art has emerged as one of
the most fascinating and compelling areas of the art market and the
contemporary art world at large. Dr Melissa Chiu, Director of

art scene in this lecture, which is the subject of her recent book
on Chinese Contemporary Art.

was Founding Director of the Asia-Australia Arts Centre in Sydney,
Australia (1996-2001)
As a leading authority on
Asian contemporary art, she has guided a number of major
initiatives at the Asia Society Museum, including the launch of a
contemporary art collection to complement the museum's outstanding
Rockefeller Collection of traditional Asian art.
