Clinton Fein - The San Francisco Chronicle

Art Resume

Arriving in Beijing, where I exhibited the Torture series with Michael Petronko Gallery, I was not sure what to expect.

The exhibit was very well received, and if I was to have based success on the amount of people who took photographs of my photos, I would have to say that it was pretty spectacular. ,/br>
While I had no problem predicting responses -- both negative and positive -- in the United Sates and England, I really did not have a clue as to how it would be received or perceived in China..
