What's the catch? These girls managed to hook a bear on the end their salmon during a quiet day's fishing at the Jilin gallery

But there is hope that freedom of expression will gain a stronger foothold in China as the country enjoys an incredible surge in the popularity of art.
According to a report from the European Fine Art Fair (Tefaf), which opened today in the Netherlands, China overtook Britain as the world's second biggest market for art and antiques in 2010.
Back in 2006, China had just a six per cent share of the market and the UK bought as much as 27 per cent.
But last year China raked in 23 per cent of the world's art, one per cent more than Brits brought home.

Pull the other one: It can take a few minutes of looking at these utterly convincing works of perspective before the eye determines what is happening

Both countries are still lagging behind the U.S., which has a 34 per cent share, while France is the only other significant international player with a six per cent share. The rest of the world accounts for the remaining 15 per cent.
The world art market hit a peak of €48 billion in 2007 and had been declining since then, dropping by around 33 per cent to €28 billion in 2009, the biggest decline since its previous recession in the early 1990s.
But it recovered strongly last year, more than doubling in value to €43 billion.
'This recovery was driven by the US and China, while European growth was much more sluggish,' said the Tefaf report.
'The recovery in 2010 was also driven by strong spending by Chinese art buyers as the geographical distribution of wealth continues to shift East.'
