About Huang Yong Ping
- Huáng Yong Ping (Chinese: ???; February 18, 1954 – October 20, 2019) was a Chinese-French contemporary artist and one of the most well known Chinese Avant-garde artists of his time.
- Born in Xiamen, he was recognized as the most controversial and provocative artist of the Chinese art scene of the 1980s.Huang was one of the earliest contemporary Chinese artists to consider art as strategy.
- As a self-taught student, some of his earliest artistic inspirations came from Joseph Beuys, John Cage, and Marcel Duchamp.
- He later graduated from art school in Hangzhou in 1982, and formed Xiamen Dada in 1986.
- Huang's oeuvre can be characterized by four periods: anti-artistic affectation (fan jiaoshi zhuyi), anti-self-expression (fan ziwo biaoxian he xingshi zhuyi), anti-art (fan yishu), and anti-history (fanyishushi).
- At the age of 35 in 1989, Huang traveled to Paris to partake in the seminal exhibition Magiciens de la terre.
- He later immigrated to France and lived there ever since.
- As many of his pieces are very large, they are not suitable for auction. In 1999, Huang represented France in the Venice Biennale.
- In 2016, his piece "Empires" was selected for the Monumenta biennial exposition at the Grand Palais in Paris.Xiamen Dada was a group formed by Huang Yong Ping with Zha Lixiong, Liu Yiling, Lin Chun and Jiao Yaoming in 1986, as a postmodernist, radical avant-garde group.
- However, their works were often perceived as modern.
- The group publicly burned their works in protest, and Huang stated, “Artwork to artist is like opium to men.
- Until art is destroyed, life is never peaceful.” The group later withheld from any other public showings.Huang was represented by Gladstone Gallery in New York, Kamel Mennour in Paris, and Tang Contemporary in Beijing.
