China’s Art World: Seven Female Stand-Outs

Contemporary art in China is a man’s world…yet the art is there, and it is some of the most innovative work around. – New York Times

I started to write a piece off this NYT article in 2008 but the resulting post was not worth keeping. As I try to make What Women Make a more robust resource, I decided to dig back into it and look up all of the female artists mentioned for myself and find pictures to share with you of them and/or their work. Here’s a list of notable female artists from China. I’m sure the list is longer and hopefully will grow as the world changes. Enjoy!

Artists:
