The first monograph conceived for the international market devoted to one of the most important Chinese contemporary artists. Known throughout the world, above all for his cycle Great Criticism, in which he juxtaposes images of Chinese propaganda with the most famous Western brands, and later for his installations on the theme of the Cold War, Wang Guangyi is considered one of the emblems of new China because his work underlines, through new language forms, the deep social changes the country is experiencing. This monograph includes more than 400 color images, an essay by the curator, and an anthology of the most important writings by and on the artist, revealing for the first time the entire œuvre of Wang Guangyi, whose works are in the collections of the most important museums and foundations in the world.
Demetrio Paparoni, critic and curator, has edited numerous monographs and contributed to catalogs of artists such as Anish Kapoor, Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Roy Lichtenstein, and Edward Hopper.
