This publication is produced to accompany the solo exhibition of Chinese artist Yue Minjun organised by Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain in Paris from November 2012 to March 2013. Featuring 130 paintings and drawings, this exhibition is the largest for Yue ever held in Europe.
'Yue Minjun, L’Ombre du fou rire illuminates the work of the artist by taking an in-depth look at the idiosyncratic iconography he has developed over the past twenty years. It includes significant contributions by the Chinese critic and poet Ouyang Jianghe and the French philosopher and sinologist François Jullien, as well as an interview with Yue Minjun. This exceptional publication enables readers to approach his artwork from new perspectives and to explore the many references to art history and Chinese history which are the sources of his work.' -from website of Fondation Cartier.
