Beschreibung:
Zeng Fanzhi has won international acclaims first for the Hospital and Meat series and later on for the Mask series in the 1990s. Gladys Chung is an art specialist and consultant working in Asian art for the past ten years at Christie's, Poly Auctions, and others, previously giving lectures at several universities in Hong Kong. Currently, she is director for the Fanzhi Foundation for Art and Education, in charge of the current Catalogue Raisonne Project.
This publication documents Zeng Fanzhi's exhibition at Hauser & Wirth in Los Angeles in early 2023. The book is designed to show full works along with 1:1 details to give readers an in-depth glimpse into Zeng's command of his medium and his wet-on-wet technique, emphasizing the materiality of his painting and affording insights into his colorful, labyrinthine brushwork. The scholarly essays look at the artist's recent work from various perspectives: Carter Ratcliff discusses it in relation to the types of abstraction predominant in Western art history, while Stephen Little focuses on the influence of Chinese art and philosophy on Zeng's oeuvre and approach. Barbara Pollack situates his work in relation to its contemporary Chinese precedents and posits that it can best be understood as operating beyond the binary of East and West.
