The book Chinese Puzzles: Games for the Hands and Mind is now available. Part exhibition catalog and part photographic exploration, this beautiful book uses as its subject matter the traditional Chinese puzzles displayed in the Chinese Culture Center’s 2008 exhibition. It is the first book to document the rapidly disappearing forms of handcrafted Chinese puzzles.Chinese Puzzles: Games for the Hands and Mind was written by Wei Zhang and Peter Rasmussen, who collected the puzzles during twelve years of travels crisscrossing China and exploring Western antique markets. The forms, textures and colors of the antique puzzles are given new life through the eyes and lens of San Francisco-based painter-photographer-designer Niana Liu.
