The ShanghArt Gallery was one of the earliest, and most famous, galleries devoted to contemporary art in Shanghai. The art here is for sale, but is definitely not for the shallow pocketed. Artists who have pieces displayed here are some of the most established painters and sculptors in the city. Similarly, the Art Scene Warehouse also houses some big-name Chinese artists, along with many up-and-comers. Opened in 2002, this is the perfect place to view the wildly varying styles of art that have cropped up in recent years. If you’re an artist yourself, you may also be interested in their emerging Chinese artists’ competition.
