China: Fifty Years Inside the Peoples Republic December 10, 2000March 4, 2001 This exhibition includes some of the most significant images made in China by both Asian and Western photographers since 1949. It presents cultural, political and everyday life as seen by great photographers of the era. Their insights on a country long virtually closed to the West evoke a magnificent land and its people and an extraordinary time in history. The exhibition captures the complex and passionate attachments that bind both the native-born and foreign artist to China for a lifetime. A fully illustrated catalogue accompanies the exhibition. The publication and exhibition are made possible by Ford Motor Company, in keeping with its commitment to the life and culture of China and its people, and to excellence in photography. The accompanying publication is also generously supported by the Starr Foundation. This exhibition has been organized by Aperture Foundation in association with the Asia Society.
