| book description |

The 798 Art District, born out of the repurposing of abandoned factory buildings in northeastern Beijing, became a symbol of China's booming contemporary art scene in the early twenty-first century. Initiatives such as ""Reconstruction 798"" spurred the development of the art district, creating a public, market-driven hub of contemporary art that reached its zenith around the time of 2008 Beijing Olympics. This book documents 798's remarkable pioneering decade between 2002 and 2012, capturing the art district's heyday, as well as its subsequent decline following the global financial crisis and the resulting downturn in the Chinese art market. Presenting his personal collection of nearly one thousand event posters and firsthand interviews with sixteen eminent artists, curators, and gallery owners, Xu Yong provides an invaluable record of contemporary Chinese art during this transformative period.
