| Hung Liu's Dirge |
A recent Wall Street Journal article (January 13, 2012) described how Chinese artists are now outselling artists like Pablo Picasso and Andy Warhol at art auctions.
According to the article, three of the ten most expensive artworks sold at auction in 2011 were by Chinese artists. In fact, last year’s priciest art work, a delicate scroll by a Chinese artist, rocketed ahead of canvases by Pablo Picasso, Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol when it sold for $65 million at one auction!
The San Francisco Contemporary Music Players (SFCMP) is pleased to offer a unique limited edition of 45 prints from renowned artist Hung Liu, whose work is in major collections both nationally and internationally. Stylistically, her work combines traces of Chinese history with a delicate modernist sensibility.
The print is available for only $1,800, and all sales of the print benefit SFCMP. For the chance to view the work yourself, the organization will hold a special reception for the Hung Liu print at the Electric Works Gallery in San Francisco on Thursday, February 9, 2012.
There’ll be wine, hors d’oeuvres, and a performance by Chinese pipa virtuoso Shenshen Zhang. Click here for more details, and RSVP at info@sfcmp.org or by calling (415) 278-9566. Be in the vanguard!
