As Seen is a series of publications that review the work of Chinese artists as presented in public museums and galleries in China. As Seen is not exhaustive, but it is the result of extensive exhibition-going. With particular focus on the achievements of young artists, As Seen 2 continues to track the pulse of the times as it underscores artistic content and form.
