Reviews

'This book brings together significant first-hand research that highlights a specific and unique period of collecting along with a highly significant political moment of history in China. It brings out debates about collecting practices, curatorship and British China hands in an intelligent, thoughtful way which is highly readable. It is a fascinating insight into a very specific relationship that links to broader issues of exhibiting, knowledge production and China-West relations and the politics and power structures of cultural institutions.' Katie Hill, Sotheby's Institute of Art and OCCA, Office of Contemporary Chinese Art, Oxford, UK 'I very much enjoyed this well-written and highly informative book, and have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone with an interest in the display of contemporary culture and history.' maozhang.net '...deserves a wide readership ... Barnes' book is a great achievement.' Museum Anthropology Review
