About
SPURS Gallery stands as one of the leading contemporary art galleries in China, representing a distinguished roster of over 30 artists spanning generations of Chinese avant-garde innovation while fostering global collaborations. Its program traces the evolution of China’s experimental art emerging after the Cultural Revolution, from its origins in the 1970s underground movements—including the Stars Group and No Name Group— through pivotal milestones such as the Beijing Abstract Art Movement (1980s), the 85 New Wave, the 1990s New Media Movement, to the pioneering practices of Post-Internet era young artists.
SPURS Gallery is continuing the legacy of Boers-Li Gallery, established in 2005, staging more than 100
exhibitions until today. Led by Jia Wei and Sherry Lai, SPURS Gallery supports the artists who have built
a relationship with them over the last 20 years, while fostering young and new positions with the
knowledge of the traditions of Chinese art and its contemporary developments. Equipped to emancipate and
establish the history of Chinese contemporary art and its continued influence, the gallery provides a
platform for artists to realize their practice on an international stage, and to start a dialog between
the cutting-edge of Chinese art today and selected Western positions that pursue ideas for a globalized
world.
Marking two decades of artistic excellence in 2025, SPURS Gallery shall inaugurate a transformative
evolution, pioneering bold new frontiers within the global contemporary art landscape through strategic
professional enhancement.
