...attended over the weekend with collectors from throughout the region, including Singapore, China and Indonesia. But Zhao Wuji's "7 Aout 2000" sold for $543,156 - over $44,000 short of Sotheby's low-end estimate of $587,500 - and several pieces, including paintings by star contemporary Chinese artists Zhang Xiaogang and Yue Minjun, went unsold at the modern and contemporary Asian art sale on Oct. 4. Many say the unimpressive results were a combination of already overinflated price estimates and the dismal economy.

...time I thought the song was about the complex of buildings that are effectively the headquarters of the Communist Party of China. I thought that I had perhaps stumbled upon a band singing true songs of (gasp!) protest—at least until the lead singer Zhang Shuowang broke into the chorus. It is not hyperbole to say that I have never seen so many cigarettes in the air at one time in my entire life. Fans began hurling them by the handful at the band as they sang, as if to the beat.
