前波畫廊(Chambers Fine Art)包括紐約前波畫廊和北京前波畫廊。其“前波”(Chambers)之名取自十八世紀英國著名建築師威廉.錢伯斯勳爵(Sir William Chambers)。錢伯斯勳爵不僅在建築設計上頗有建樹，同時還是中國園林設計觀念在西方的重要闡釋和推廣者。前波畫廊創始人及現任主管人Christophe W.Mao(茅為清)深受錢伯斯勳爵啟發，自2000年起，舉辦了各種內容穎豐富的展覽，並將活躍在中國當代藝術舞台上的最優秀的藝術家及作品介紹給美國觀眾。

基本信息
前波畫廊(Chambers Fine Art)包括紐約前波畫廊和北京前波畫廊。其“前波”(Chambers)之名取自十八世紀英國著名建築師威廉.錢伯斯勳爵(Sir William Chambers)。錢伯斯勳爵不僅在建築設計上頗有建樹，同時還是中國園林設計觀念在西方的重要闡釋和推廣者。前波畫廊創始人及現任主管人Christophe W.Mao(茅為清)深受錢伯斯勳爵啟發，自2000年起，舉辦了各種內容穎豐富的展覽，並將活躍在中國當代藝術舞台上的最優秀的藝術家及作品介紹給美國觀眾。
前波畫廊的展覽主要包括兩種形式，一種是已經較有名氣的藝術家的個人展覽，另一種是由著名學者和藝評人策劃的主題展覽。在一些前波畫廊舉辦的富有創新意義的展覽中，也試圖著力探索了中國傳統藝術形式與當代藝術家實踐之間的關係。這些精心策劃的展覽，及時“報導”了中國的最新發展，常與舉辦的藝術家個人展覽的風格完全不同。在前波畫廊展覽的藝術家大都在中國已有一定聲譽，但對他們中許多人來說，在前波畫廊的個人展覽卻是在美國舉行的第一次個展。2007年前波畫廊在北京草場地藝術區開設了分館，其空間由艾未未設計。
前波畫廊的大部份展覽都配有圖錄，其中許多都由藝術家親自設計。
前波畫廊明年的展覽計畫將延續這種著名藝術家與年輕藝術家結合的成功方式。
英文介紹
Introduction
Since 2000,Christophe W. Mao has been committed to the careers of a select group ofChinese contemporary artists. He opened Chambers Fine Art in New York City in hopes of exhibiting and contextualizingthis developing genre to Western audiences.
The gallery programalternates between monographic exhibitions devoted to the work of establishedand emerging artists and thematic exhibitions organized by recognized scholarsand critics from China.While some artists fuse traditional Chinese art forms with contemporarypractices, other artists present the face of contemporary China usingmultimedia techniques. This broad scope allows Chambers Fine Art to present avariety of mediums from video installations and large format photography toneo-classical ink painting and traditional paper-cutting.
Some notable exhibitionsat Chambers include: Rocks and Art: Nature Found and Made, in which Chinesescholar’s rocks were juxtaposed with works by contemporary artists includingBrice Marden, Roy Lichtenstein and Zhan Wang; Too Much Flavor, a survey of young artists including Hong Hao andShi Jinsong who responded to the sensory overload of modern life; andChopsticks, a joint exhibition withSong Dong and Yin Xiuzhen that reflected the trust and harmony of their workand life.
All of the exhibitionsat Chambers Fine Art are accompanied by catalogs designed by the artistthemselves with essays written by scholars and critics in the field. Thegallery has placed significant works by Hong Hao, Zhan Wang, Cai Guo-Qiang,Hong Lei and Wang Jianwei in major public and private collections. ChambersFine Art will continue to create provocative and intelligent exhibitions by influentialestablished artists and young emerging talents in China.
