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
oeuvre of Wang Guangyi, whose works are in the collections of the most
important museums and foundations in the world.
