Artbooks of Chinese Art & Artist

A growing list of Artbooks

Since Information and Works of Chinese Artists are not so easy to access outside China I started this list of available artbooks from online sources such as Amazon to help interested people to quickly find interesting books to purchase. (Please note due to the limited availability of these publications delivery times might be longer or you have to purchase them in a used condition)
