In the preface, Li Xiang Yang (Executive Director of the Museum) writes, 'Shanghai is an important city where Chinese abstract art originated and has developed. "Jue Lan Society" in the 1930s was a forerunner of the development of abstract art. Since the 1980s, a number of artists have created enormous excellent works of art. To this day, the phenomenon of abstract art in Shanghai has caught the deepest attention in the art circles at home and abroad.' Biographical information of the artists，and the transcription (in Chinese only) of a discussion concerning this exhibition, chaired by Li Xu and with participation from the artists, are included.
