Public Art in China
by Xiaoming Wei
For only a bit more than ten years has the phrase ÒPublic ArtÓ been widely used in China instead of the phrase ÒCity Sculpture.Ó Public art is changing gradually, accompanied by the development of sculpture art from a realistic to a figurative style, then to a movement, a program, or a plan.
China has achieved tremendous progress in the economic sphere, concepts, and arts since the opening of its economy in 1978. The reasons for these advancements are various, but the most important reason is that China has truly begun a dialogue with the world.
