The book provides a critical overview of the work of established stars Takashi Murakami and Zhang Huan, as well as emerging talents such as Indonesian cartoon artist Wedhar Riyadi and Pakistani graffiti artist Naiza H. Khan. With 200 colour illustrations and nearly 200 artists biographies, this is an indispensable introduction to contemporary art in Asia.

Genocchio was born in Sydney, New South Wales, in 1969, the second of four sons of an Italian father, Giorgio, who worked on a cruise ship, and an Australian mother, Jennifer.
Genocchio grew up in Lane Cove and attended Newington College from 1981 to 1986.
He lives in New York state. He is editor-in-chief of Artnet News, an art news website. He previously worked as an art critic for The New York Times, and then as the editor-in-chief of Art+Auction magazine, Modern Painters magazine, and the website "artinfo.com".
As a youth he had a short attention span and a low boredom threshold, traits he says led him to become an art critic.
Genocchio completed a Doctor of Philosophy in history of art at the University of Sydney in 1996. He is a citizen of Australia and Italy.
In late December 2002 Genocchio moved to New York to begin writing for The New York Times. In early 2010 he became editorial director at Louise Blouin Media, and editor-in-chief of Art+Auction magazine, Modern Painters and artinfo.com.
He left the post at Modern Painters in 2011.
Genocchio left Blouin Media in January 2015 and joined Artnet, where he was made editor-in-chief of Artnet News, a 24-hour art news website. In 2015 he was appointed director of the Armory Show.
