Secret Source for Chinese Contemporary Art

September 8, 2009 by Marion Maneker

Deep inside  The Washington Post’s online chat with two of its interiors writers and Allison Marvin, owner of  DC-area art consultantcy Sightline, Marvin makes this interesting comment about a new source for Chinese Contemporary Art:

Washington, D.C.: If I’m interested in art from foreign countries, for example, contemporary works from Asia, would u have access to those markets?

Allison Marvin: Yes, in fact, I have a fantastic, new resource for Chinese contemporary art (not through a gallery, but rather direct from the artists’ studios in China). Its a resource that’s open to professionals in the art world, like myself, and their clients. You should contact me, and I can show you the artworks that are listed so far. It hasn’t really gone public yet, but it will soon. The artists are AMAZING.

The comment raises two interesting questions: A) What is this new service and does anyone have insight into it? and, B) Is there really this kind of demand for Chinese Contemporary Art in the US?
