Yishu: Journal of Contemporary Chinese Art – Collector’s International Edition is the first magazine introducing Chinese contemporary art in English. This book comprises 51 interviews with 55 artists by the Yishu's Managing Editor, Zheng Shengtian since its first issue in May 2002. During the time, he travelled around China, Taiwan, other countries in Asia, Europe and North America, and talked to artists about their childhood, family, school life, interests, life's ups and downs, gains and losses as well as their aspirations.

Being a world-known scholar, curator and artist, Zheng is intentionally evasive to discuss topics seemingly unrelated to art. He wants readers to uncover the artists under their idol-like appearance, to look closer and find the street urchin or the familiar girl-next-door, who shares the same real side of human nature. Behind the shininess, the artists are naturally sensitive and fragile. Listening to their confessions is touching.’ – translated from back cover.



'Yishu: Journal of Contemporary Chinese Art─典藏國際版是第一份介紹當代中國藝術的英文雜誌。本書集結Yishu自2002年5月創刊至今,由總策劃鄭勝天專訪的當代中國及台灣藝術家,共計五十一次訪談,面會五十五位藝術家。期間跨足兩岸三地,亞、歐、北美,從藝術家童年、家庭、求學談起,問他們喜歡什麽,不喜歡什麽;問他們的起落和得失;問他們的疑惑和夢想。

身為國際知名的學者、策展人和藝術家,鄭勝天卻有意「避重就輕」,專提一些看似與藝術無關的話題。他只是更希望讓人們看到成功藝術家卸除偶像包裝的模樣─走近去看,他們並不陌生,也是街頭頑童或鄰家女孩長成,也都一如凡人有真情實性。在張揚亮麗的背後,依然敏感脆弱。聽他們如實道來自己的心路歷程,更能使我們感動。' - 轉自書背簡介。
