The new China as you've never seen it before through the astonishing work of the painters and sculptors currently turning the art world on its head. Art historian Evan Hughes, son of Sydney art dealer, Ray Hughes, visits the studios of some of the artists whose fortunes have been transformed by the vast sums now being offered for their works. Is Chinese modern art the greatest movement since Cubism? That's the opinion of many western experts stunned by the quality of works emerging since the dead hand of Mao's brand of communism began to be lifted. Artists who lived in rural poverty only a decade ago now shake their heads in wonder as their works fetch millions of dollars in London and New York. Produced/directed by Australian Catherine Hunter.
