Christian Dior and Chinese Artists

Artists in luxury sculpt China's new cultural revolution


As China sets out to rebuild its artistic heritage, support is coming from an unexpected source: the global luxury industry. The big brands have targeted China - both for exhibition displays and for collaborations with contemporary artists.

Those two objects will go on display next week as "Christian Dior and Chinese Artists" opens in an industrial space in Beijing, developed as an interior Chinese garden and displaying a capsule fashion history focusing on the founder Christian Dior and the current designer John Galliano.

The 21 artists whose works go on display from Nov. 16 at the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing include some of China's edgiest artists. Their work, as seen currently at the new Charles Saatchi Gallery in London, might raise a few eyebrows in a dialogue between art and fashion.
