任何一个时代的艺术及其价值，在艺术自身的演进与时代变迁中，日益真正地显现出来。

新时代画廊值20周年纪念庆典及台湾新馆开幕之际，将于2011年3月6日至3月28日，举办主题为“过去·现在·未来”的展览。此次展览，将完整呈现20世纪以来华人艺术的变迁发展；展现新时代画廊，筚路蓝缕，一路走来，始终秉持专业的经营理念、精准的艺术眼光及长远的艺术展望。

本次展览，将整个20世纪以来华人艺术（大陆和台湾）的发展，从艺术史及学术史的角度，基于不同时代背景、时代变迁下，并着重考虑到两岸艺术的共同文化根基及发展特征，划分为五大时期。展览集中展现每一时期的艺术发展主流及其特征：从老一辈油画家徐悲鴻、刘海粟、林风眠、常玉等；到著名海外华人艺术家赵无极、朱德群、赵春翔等；到新体制（大陆，中华人民共和国成立；台湾，中华民国国民党开始统治）下的一代艺术家王怀庆、罗中立、黄铭哲等；再到中国改革开放后的一代艺术家张晓刚、蔡国强、徐冰、曾梵志、周春芽等；最后到今天经历全球化、数字化的70后新一代艺术家李晖、王颉、管勇等。展览试图透过过去之历史，审视现在之当代，展望艺术之未来。

本次展览从选题、筹备，到挑选艺术家和作品，历经一年多的时间。展品来自新时代画廊和藏家友人的倾情赞助。展览不仅呈现前辈艺术家的精彩力作，而且更有一系列中国新一代艺术家的亮眼名单及力作。展览既是新时代画廊检视自己一路走来的耕耘，从艺术史发展及艺术市场检验自己的经营，也是对20世纪以来华人艺术发展变迁的一次深刻梳理，穿越时间的隧道，昭示时代变迁下的不同历史时期的艺术发展及其价值沉淀。

新时代画廊，从建立之初，就着力深耕两岸现当代艺术。2007年进驻大陆，在北京798艺术区开设了新的空间，2011年初，台湾新馆建成运营，展示出它更立足于中国当代艺术的建构发展，着力开拓中国新一代年轻艺术家的未来事业。

在中国当代艺术真正开始的今天，在中国当代艺术起步的新世纪，新时代画廊倾心全力打造本次展览，无疑具有重要的历史和当代意义。

In any age, art, along with its value, gets revealed in its own evolution and lapse of time.

In celebration of its twentieth anniversary and the opening of the new gallery in Taiwan, New Age Gallery will hold an exhibition entitled Past•Present•Future from March 6, 2011 to March 28. This exhibition will give a full review of the history of Chinese art after the twentieth century along with a panoramic view of New Age Gallery, its abiding effort in adhering to business principles, keen insight in art and long-term perspective.

Based on history of art in general and academic history, this exhibition divides the history of Chinese art (In Chinese Mainland and Taiwan) in the twentieth century into five periods according to different historical background and the common cultural heritage and characteristics of development. The mainstream and its characteristics are introduced, from oil painters of the older generation, such as Xu Beihong, Liu Haisu, Lin Fengmian, Chang Yu, etc., and distinguished overseas Chinese painters, such as Zhao Wuji, Zhu Dequn, Zhao Chunxiang, etc., and to    artists in the new system (the founding of the People’s Republic of China in Mainland China and KMT came into power in Taiwan), such as  Wang Huaiqing, Luo Zhongli, Huang Zheming and many others, and further to the generation in the period of reform and opening up in China, like Zhang Xiaogang, Cai Guoqiang, Xu Bing, Zeng Fanzhi, Zhou Chunya, etc., and finally to the new artists of the ’70s in a globalized and digitalized era, such as Li Hui, Wang jiejie, Guang Yong, etc. The exhibition aims to review the past, reflect on the present and prepare for the future.

For over one year we have been busy with selecting a topic, making preparations, deciding on artists and their works. All the works are from New Age Gallery, collectors and our friends. There are not only masterpieces by our great masters in the past but also tour de force by artists in the new generation. Therefore, hopefully, this exhibition is a summary of the great effort New Age Gallery have made since its birth,   a test of its business operation from the perspective of art history and art market, also an in-depth analysis of Chinese art. It will lead the audience back and froth through a particular time tunnel, highlighting the development of art and its value in the lapse of time.

Since its birth, New Age Gallery has been dedicated to contemporary art across the Strait. It stepped into Beijing and set up new art space in 798 art zone, and the new gallery was completed and came into operation in 2011, showing its effort to be more devoted to the development of contemporary art in China with the aim to open up new possibilities for young Chinese artists.

In this age when contemporary art has taken the first substantial step, this exhibition New Age Gallery spared no effort to bring to the public is undoubtedly significant both to the history and to the present.
