Johnson Chang (Chang Tsong-Zung) has had a central role in putting Chinese contemporary art on the map and is perhaps best known as the founder, owner and director of Hanart TZ Gallery, which became the first in the city to deal in contemporary Chinese art when it opened in 1983. He started putting on exhibitions in the late 1970s, and went on to organize iconic shows including The Stars: 10 Years (1989) and China’s New Art, Post 1989 (1993-97), and helped launch the careers of artists including Zhang Xiaogang, Zeng Fanzhi, Wang Guangyi and Fang Lijun.
