Art Beijing 2012 Catalogue of the art fair "Art Beijing 2012" at the Beijing National Agricultural Exhibition Center. Text in Chinese and English. With this special 2012 exhibition, Art Beijing built on its "locally based and Asia-oriented" concept to further deepen its cooperation with local art galleries in China, with galleries throughout the Asia-Pacific region, and with galleries in the United States and Europe. Together, Art Beijing and its partners sought common ground in integrating art resources and presenting different perspectives on culture and art creation across various countries and regions. Art Beijing 2012 was divided into two parts: the Contemporary Hall and the Classical Hall. The total exhibition area was approximately 20,000 sq. meters, making it the largest art fair in Asia. The Contemporary Hall was located in the new building of the Agricultural Exhibition Center, and displayed various contemporary art works from hundreds of galleries and art organizations from both home and abroad. In addition to jointly working with many art organizations, Art Beijing 2012's "Art Breakthrough - Art Unforbidden" and "Photo Beijing" theme exhibitions highlighted academic and commercial trends in the art market by displaying pioneering and experimental contemporary art works. Meanwhile, the "Art Platform" involved the Culture Office of the France Embassy, the Goethe Institute, the Cultural Affairs Office of the Embassy of Mexico, the Artist Network of New York and other international cultural and artistic institutions. On display were Chinese and Western contemporary art works from various cultural backgrounds. In addition, a new Art Auction Preview was set up in the Contemporary Hall. there, five top auction houses from across Asia exhibited stunning previews of their auctions. The Classical Hall, located just outside the Contemporary Hall, exhibited Chinese and Western traditional art works from 40 art institutions. Art forms on display included traditional Chinese ink painting, fine brushwork, sculpture, Thangka, classical furniture, jewellery, jade, porcelain, and miscellaneous antiques, as well as classical Western painting and sculpture. The Classical Hall also held academic theme exhibitions. Art Beijing also worked with three art organizations to integrate traditional art resources from both China and abroad to provide great art historical detail. The "VIP Education Forum" and "Art Economic Forum" were two of Art Beijing's most profound successes, and in 2012, Art Beijing again took on its social responsibility of art education with these two events. The 2012 exhibition also included public lectures by esteemed authorities on art. In very good condition with clear pages, illustrations and soft cover.
