This exhibition catalogue was published on the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of Chinese artists' participation in the Venice Biennale. The exhibitions for this event were held in both Venice and Chengdu in 2013. They were co-curated by Lu Peng and Achille Bonita Oliva.

'The year 2013 marks the twentieth anniversary of the participation of Chinese contemporary artists in the International Art Exhibition of la Biennale di Venezia; it also marks twenty years of economic, cultural and artistic exchange between China and the West. Through this time period there is a recorded change in accepted attitudes toward Chinese culture and its international identity in the Western world, as well as toward China’s contribution to contemporary art, particularly in painting. The theme of exhibition, passage to history, derives from this? Actually, we can clearly see that it was the combined efforts of Chinese contemporary artists and critics at home and abroad, as well as those Western curators with a passion for art that made this precious period of Chinese contemporary art history possible.' - from organiser's website.

Includes foreword by Lu Peng and artists' biographies.
