ITALY-CHINA COOPERATION CULTURE DEVELOPMENT COMPANY "CYCLISTS", Silkscreen, by Ugo Nespolo.
Italy-China Cooperation Culture Development Company has been committed to art communication and promotion between China and foreign countries. Over several years, it has established good partnership with many Chinese and foreign artists.
As a European luxury hotel group with more than a hundred year’s history, Kempinski has been upholding the fine tradition of supporting the arts and cultural development. This exhibition tour brings together these two parties to promote, encourage and advance cultural concepts and art education. It will be held at Kempinski hotels in Beijing, Suzhou, Wuxi, Xi’an, Yinchuan, Huizhou and Chongqing, lasting half a year in total — one month at each location.
The art works to be shown at the exhibition tour will come from a wide range of countries, boasting unified style and comparable level with museum collections. Of them, there will be the limited editions of prints made for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games by 27 world famous artists from 10 countries.
They are works with the logo of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games that can only be used under the authorization of the International Olympic Committee. So far, the Olympic Portfolio has been exhibited at the Imperial Ancestral Temple of Beijing, Qingdao Olympic Museum, Shenzhen OCT Art and Design Gallery, Taiwan Bagua Mountain Museum, Contemporary Art Center in New York, Olympic Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland and many other museums. In addition to high artistic value, the Olympic Portfolio is also of great significance in the collection. Early this year, they were made part of the collection of the British Museum. Taking the concept of art promotion in line with the characteristics of the cities in which the exhibitions will be held, the exhibition tour will cooperate with the Chinese artists from different fields to present more masterworks of Chinese artists to visitors.
The exhibition tour will be launched at the Kempinski Hotel Beijing on February 16, 2012. The opening cocktail party will be held and guests from embassies, companies, media and art circles will witness the launch of the event and be the first to enjoy most of the exhibits.
