Now in its final weeks at the Guggenheim Museum, until January 7, 2018, Art and China after 1989: Theater of the World is a major survey of contemporary art from China spanning 1989 to 2008. Presenting work by 71 key artists and groups active across China and worldwide, the exhibition surveys artistic experimentation during two pivotal decades that marked the end of one world order and the start of another. The New York Times called Art and China after 1989 a “powerful, unmissable event.”

The museum will be closed for Christmas Day, Monday, December 25, and open on New Year’s Eve, Sunday, December 31, from 10 am to 5:45 pm, and on New Year’s Day, Monday, January 1, from 11 am to 6 pm.
