The show features 260 works by 74 artists of different generations, among them Ai Weiwei, John Baldessari, Elmgreen & Dragset, Robert Gober, Jenny Holzer, Jonathan Horowitz, Jeff Koons, Adam McEwen, Andy Warhol, and Zhang Huan. The exhibition deals with the question of how artists influence each other and develop their work by borrowing or stealing ideas. The title of the exhibition was inspired by Pablo Picasso's quote "Good artists borrow, great artists steal".
