Also on show are Philippe Angot's contemporary monochromatic ink paintings, and works by Wang Guangyi, and Zhang Xiaogang, considered one of the most important emerging Chinese artists.

Changing China

A group of five young Chinese artists will present "Born in the '70s" at Gallery 55 from December 16 to January 18.
