Signaling China’s rise as a major soft power, the global emergence of contemporary Chinese art from the mid-1990s also reflected sea changes in how Chinese citizens internalized concepts of private property. Although Communist economic systems sought to end private property by collectivizing the means of production, the liberalization of property ownership in the 1990s and 2000s encouraged an altogether different approach to artistic production, one that required considering how social relations were shaped by new forms of legal discourse. Through property law, the state and its citizens shuttled between practical considerations and pressures to accommodate Western laws to which Chinese economic interests were inextricably tied. Indeed, the very rise of contemporary Chinese art as a major cultural and economic phenomenon crucially turned on competing perceptions of what it meant to be an author on international, national, and local registers.
