中国人正用摄影和世界连接

A. The first exhibition, called “Photography From the 20th Century, is a good way to introduceto Chinese visitors the breadth and depth of world photography and the rich genres ofdifferent styles of photography. I would like to impress on our visitors first the breadth anddepth of photography that was invented in the West. Photography had a head start of nearly200 years there.

答：第一场展览“20世纪摄影展是向来观展的中国人介绍世界摄影的理想方式，让人们了解摄影的广度和深度，以及诸多风格迥异的流派。我想要先以在西方发明的摄影的广度和深度来给人们留下深刻印象。那里的摄影发展比我们要早将近200年。

Q.Tell us about the private collection from which these photographs are taken.

问：跟我们讲讲这些摄影作品所属的私人收藏吧。

A. It was curated from a total collection of 1,600 works that represent a who’s who ofphotography. Charles Jin Hongwei, the collector, went to the United States from Shanghai as astudent and became a successful businessman. Now he has become a very serious collector ofphotography. With the rapid development of Chinese collectors of contemporary arts, I believethe time has come where many Chinese are viewing the collecting of photography as relativelymore affordable. The power of photography as a world language will enrich the lives of theChinese middle class, which increasingly looks to foreign travel and museum visits as moreviable options than conspicuous consumption.
