Some readers may still be wondering about the intended meaning of the sculpture in the previous post, and some may be wondering about its location. I have ideas but no definitive answers for the the first question, but at least one reader correctly guessed the photo was taken at the Parkview Green shopping mall in Beijing. Even if you have no interest in or money for luxury shopping, the mall is worth a visit for its remarkable architecture and numerous pieces of contemporary art. The bathrooms have fancy toilet seats too.
Photos of nine of the works on display inside the mall during a recent visit appear below with some bits of symmetry in their ordering. I have only listed the artists' names because sometimes the works' names weren't clearly displayed, at least anywhere I looked. In one frustrating case, I have not even been able to identify the artist — any help welcome [update: mystery solved]. Although none of them were as surprising to me to find in a Beijing shopping mall as the piece in the previous post, I found them all provocative in their own ways.

Hi, I have feeling the "unknown" artist will be Sui Jianguo
ReplyDeleteThanks for the suggestion. I think I figured out the artist: Salvador Dali.
DeleteI know that it's modern art because it is too large to go into any house and too well known from its public displaying to be destroyed.
ReplyDeleteA few of these aren't too big. And in a way, the yellow Beetle Sphere is already destroyed. Don't you think it would look great in your living room?
DeleteWho made the painting behind Huang Mingzhe sculpture?
