In the Guangdong province in southeastern China lies Dafen, a village that houses thousands of workers who paint Van Goghs, Da Vincis, Warhols, and other Western masterpieces, producing an astonishing five million paintings a year. To write about life and work in Dafen, Winnie Wong infiltrated this world, investigating the claims of conceptual artists who made projects there; working as a dealer; apprenticing as a painter; surveying merchants in Europe, Asia, and America; establishing relationships with local leaders; and organizing a conceptual art show for the Shanghai World Expo. The result is Van Gogh on Demand, a fascinating book about a little-known aspect of the global art world - one that sheds surprising light on our understandings of art, artists, and individual genius. Confronting difficult questions about the definition of art, the ownership of an image, and the meaning of imitation and appropriation, Wong shows how a plethora of artistic practices joins Chinese migrant workers, propaganda makers, and international artists together in a global supply chain of art and creativity. She examines how Berlin-based conceptual artist Christian Jankowski, who collaborated with Dafen's painters to reimagine the Dafen Art Museum, unwittingly appropriated a photojournalist's intellectual property. She explores how Zhang Huan, a radical performance artist from Beijing's East Village, prompted propaganda makers to heroize the female artists of Dafen village. Through these cases, Wong shows how Dafen's workers force us to reexamine our expectations about the cultural function of creativity and imitation, and the role of Chinese workers in redefining global art. Providing a valuable account of art practices in a period of profound global cultural shifts and an ascendant China, Van Gogh on Demand is a rich and detailed look at the implications of a world that can offer countless copies of everything that has ever been called "art."

评分作者是MIT毕业,现在Berkely修辞学系任教。因为有艺术史专业背景,对艺术理论关键问题把握得很好,从而写的大芬村要比以往研究高出很多段数。五年的田野,八年磨成一书,其中的沉淀,应该会使此书成为研究全球文化生产不可绕过的著作。很佩服。
评分基于大芬村的田野来重新思考immitation和appropriation的艺术理论问题。通过对于大芬村画家和生意模式的田野调查,揭露了西方流传的关于大芬村作为“艺术流水线生产/血汗工厂” 的神话,指出这种神话以中国为他者,再次巩固了西方浪漫主义/现代主义对于“艺术”之原创性、本真性、独一性之特权身份的意识形态。作者在中国市场化、城市化、农民务工等脉络中解释了大芬村的艺术生产、技能习得和运用等模式,并同艺术史上长久存在的各自trade painting实践联系,也批判了当代艺术对于大芬村模式的想象和挪用,以此反思原创、灵韵、匠作(craft)等概念的多元建构。
评分黄韵然:《凡高的订单:中国和现成品》。深圳大芬油画商赵小勇等人的行画产业与全球化订单模式,选题挺有意思的,前阵子在南方人物周刊上也翻了一篇大芬村专访。
评分以小見大,包羅萬象的一個課題,果不其然出現了Benjamin和Duchamp 兩位核心人物。用人類學的民族誌和參與觀察,遠遠超越出 originality & copy的現代藝術的話語,涉及全球化,意識形態等。建議詳讀 Introduction 部份
