Wuhan, in China’s Hubei province, Zeng’s work can be seen at Paris’s Museum of
Modern Art from the 18th of October 2013 until the 16th
of Februari 2014.
The exposition
features around 40 of his paintings and sculptures dating back to 1990; his
"Hospital" and "Meat" paintings from the 1990s inspired by the
scenes he witnessed in the local clinic near where he lived, the
"Mask" series established after 1994 when Zeng's art makes
an immediate shift towards a more apathetic nature, responding ironically to
his concerns of his new contemporary urban life and last but
not least his most recent “Landscapes” series , his art after 1997 that can be
considered more relax and symbolistic.
In October 2013, Sotheby’s Hong Kong at the Asian
Contemporary 40th Annivesary Sale, Zeng Fanzhi's The Last Supper was sold for
US$23.3 million, setting a new record for contemporary Asian artwork. Zeng , is currently ranked the fourth highest-selling contemporary artist
