An art exhibition named Kisses from Beijing kicked off at the Guimet Museum in Paris recently, bringing together 20 Chinese and French artists and their works to show one facet of the exchanges between the two countries. Most of the artists involved in the exhibition have previously won the Yishu 8 Contemporary Art Prize. The exhibition is set to run until February 2023. According to the host, the exhibition is part of cultural activities that make it possible to establish a bridge between the Western contemporary spirit and Chinese tradition.
The museum has one of the world's richest collections of Asian art, and the Chinese section contains about 20,000 objects, covering 7,000 years of Chinese art from the origins of the civilization to around the 18th century.
