Zhao Shutong

About Professor Zhao Shutong:

During the cultural revolution when Chairman Mao sent out the Red Guard, mainly young party enthusiasts who swept across the land destroying every cultural relic they could lay their hands on, Mr Zhao single-handedly went out into the country covertly and claimed as many ancient relics as he could physically achieve over a 30 year period. He systematically moved ahead of the Red Guard getting and concealing hundreds of thousands of historical artifacts from Chinese history, and hid them for 20 years.

Now that China is emerging Mr Zhao has revealed these to the Government and in celebration of what he achieved the Government has given him the facilities to store them safely and securely. Mr Zhao has not sold one item and any one of the rarest items are worth hundreds of millions of dollars on the antique market.

“Rent Collection Courtyard” will also be seen in its entirety of 103 statues for the first time in Asia, and outside of its home country. The series of cathartically emotive statues fight, beg and plead as collectors come for the rent they cannot pay.
