Shenzhen Art Museum, formerly known as Shenzhen Exhibition Hall, was founded in 1976. It is the earliest art exhibition institution in Shenzhen. After the establishment of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, it was officially renamed Shenzhen Art Museum on 1987 with the approval of the municipal government. The existing area is 5500_, the building area is 2800_, and the exhibition hall area is 1200_.
Since its establishment, Shenzhen Art Museum has actively promoted art exchanges at home and abroad through various forms of activities, taking advantage of the role of the "cultural window" of the SAR and its geographical advantages adjacent to Hong Kong and Macao. In 2002, Shenzhen Art Museum established "paying attention to contemporary art and local art" as its academic orientation, and planned to hold the annual China Contemporary Art Exhibition and Shenzhen Local Art Exhibition, so as to promote the development of contemporary art in China and local art in Shenzhen and create a good image of the city art museum. In recent years, Shenzhen Art Museum has strived to provide all-round services for professional artists, art lovers and the general public, actively established a social public cultural service system, and made every effort to build a public service-oriented art museum.
Shenzhen Art Museum actively positioned the relevant collections, and gradually formed the collection characteristics dominated by the famous classic collections in the 20th century, contemporary art in China and local art in Shenzhen. On this basis, we emphasize the diversity of collection types and carry out various types of art collections. At present, there are 4608 Chinese paintings, oil paintings, prints, sculptures, calligraphy, watercolors, cartoons, paper-cutting and photography in the collection.
Collected works include Pan Tianshou, Jiang, Li Keran, Wu Zuoren, Ye, Huang Zhou, Wu Guanzhong, Lu, Cheng Shifa,,, Li Xiongcai and Lai Shaoqi, as well as Zhang Xiaogang, Yue Minjun, Fang Lijun, Wang Guangyi, Zeng Fanzhi, Zhou Chunya and He Duoling.
In the early days of its establishment, Shenzhen Art Museum held a series of important art exhibitions, such as the 12th National Print Exhibition, the 7th National Art Exhibition, the Gouache Watercolor Exhibition, Wu Changshuo, Feng Zikai, Huang, Xu Beihong, Fu Baoshi, Jiang, Li Keran, Wu Zuoren, Huang Zhou and Wu Guanzhong, and successfully held 1985 "Shenzhen Art Festival" with national influence. In terms of contemporary art, Shenzhen Art Museum holds a series of academic and influential contemporary art exhibitions every year based on its own academic goals, from "Image of Concept-2002 China Contemporary Oil Painting Invitational Exhibition" to "Liu Ji -20 15 Contemporary Art Exhibition". In the aspect of paying attention to local art, we constantly combed and studied the local art creation in Shenzhen, and carefully planned solo exhibitions and group exhibitions of various local artists, which fully demonstrated the fruitful creative achievements of local painters in Shenzhen. In addition, Shenzhen Art Museum continues to hold a series of exhibitions of famous artists from China to witness the changes, development, inheritance and transformation of China art in the times.
Shenzhen Art Museum has been paying attention to the present situation of contemporary artistic creation and critical theory, and has a keen observation on the problems of contemporary art circles, thus putting forward some problems worthy of extensive attention and consideration by the art circles. In addition to contemporary art exhibitions, holding an art gallery forum is also a major measure for Shenzhen Art Museum to implement its academic orientation. Shenzhen Art Museum Forum is held every two years. Up to now, several art gallery forums have been successfully held, and many papers related to the theme of the forum have been published, such as New Vision of Art and Art and Society. This series of academic activities not only enlivened the atmosphere of artistic criticism, but also promoted the further development of contemporary artistic creation and contemporary artistic criticism in China to some extent. The theoretical articles on the focus of art circles in different periods in related papers provide theoretical support and help for in-depth study and understanding of contemporary art in China.
In recent years, Shenzhen Art Museum has used its own collections, exhibitions and academic resources to gather public education and exhibitions, and carried out colorful public education activities through audio exhibitions, volunteer exhibitions, academic lectures, art salons, seminars, symposiums, art gallery classes, face-to-face art, children's experience interactive activities, and college students' and teenagers' experience activities, which fully embodies the publicity and publicity of the Art Museum. At the same time, it also strengthens the construction of professional volunteers, conducts training and lectures on the quality and professional skills of volunteers, improves the professional ability of volunteer tour guides, and better serves the public. In addition, Shenzhen Art Museum has been listed as "Teaching and Research Base of Shenzhen Fine Arts School", "Fine Arts Education Base of Shenzhen Municipal Bureau of Culture, Sports and Tourism", "Internship Base of Art and Design College of Shenzhen University", "Internship Base of Shenzhen Institute of Technology" and "Lotus North Community Activity Base of Meilin Community".
