Wang Guangyi

Wang Guangyi

Wang Guangyi (1956/7 – ), is a Chinese artist known for being the leader of the New Art Movement circles that erupted out of China after 1989 and for his "Great Criticism" series of paintings, using the images of propaganda from the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) and contemporary brand names from western advertising. As an example, Artinfo notes that one of Wang Guangyis’s Great Criticism paintings "“responds to the recent influx of advertising by juxtaposing the Coca-Cola logo with an image of a Chinese soldier, appropriating the visual iconography of both the Chinese Cultural Revolution and American pop art.”" [citation | title= Contemporary Chinese Art at the Federal Reserve | publisher=ARTINFO | year=2005 | date= August 18, 2005 | url= http://www.artinfo.com/news/story/13706/contemporary-chinese-art-at-the-federal-reserve/

Alongside Yue Minjun, Zeng Fanzhi and Fang Lijun, Wang Guangyi belongs to China’s hottest new artists. His massive "Mao AO" painting from 1988 was sold for £2,036,000 ($4.1 million) at a Phillips de Pury & Company auction in London in December 2007.” [citation | title= Auction Reviews: Contemporary Art | author= Judd Tully | publisher= Art+Auction | year=2007 | date= December 3, 2007 | url= http://www.artinfo.com/news/story/26182/auction-reviews-contemporary-art/ | accessdate=2008-04-24 ]
