Catalogue for the touring exhibition of the same name, which was exhibited in the United Kingdom in 1999.

"'Representing the People" is a medium scale exhibition comprising approximately forty art works by ten Chinese contemporary artists currently active in China. The works are united by the theme of present-day Chinese society as reflected through the eyes of what maybe termed China’s first generation of free or independent, figurative artists.'

(Abstract from essay by Karen Smith)

Included in the catalogue are essays written by both Western and Chinese critics on contemporary Chinese art.
