The Yangtze Contemporary Art Fair
扬 子 当 代 艺 术 博 览 会
As a place name, ‘Yangtze’ first appeared in the Sui Dynasty. It refers to a section of the Changjiang, the longest river in China and the third longest river in the world. Later, European traders used the word ‘Yangtze’ as a byname for the entire Changjiang River, and since then, the Yangtze has become symbolic of China’s opening to the outside world.
Nanjing is an important cultural centre in China with a well established contemporary art scene.
