It's an arranged marriage that has collectors salivating. In its inaugural show, Pace Beijing, the newly opened outpost of New York mega-gallery PaceWildenstein, pairs western greats such as Andy Warhol, Chuck Close and Jeff Koons with China's hottest names, including Zhang Xiaogang, Fang Lijun and Yue Minjun. Focusing on contemporary portraiture, the show, Encounters, presents east and west side by side, suggesting equivalence in both quality and importance.
令收藏者垂涎的是一場包辦婚姻。紐約大型畫廊PaceWildernstein的分館佩斯北京(Pace Beijing)新近開館。在開幕展中,將同時展出安迪?沃霍爾(Andy Warhol)、查克?克勞斯(Chuck Close)和杰夫?庫恩斯(Jeff Koons)等西方藝術大師和張曉剛、方力鈞和岳敏君等中國最炙手可熱的藝術家的作品。這場名為“遭遇”(Encounter)的展覽聚焦當代肖像作品,將東方與西方并肩呈現,表現出在質量與重要性上,兩者都是同等的。
