The present catalogue was published on the occasion of the exhibition "Wang Guangyi" at ARARIO SEOUL, Korea in 2006. As an artist, Wang is a faithful embodiment of all the pains and glories the 20th century endured and celebrated, especially in the conflicts and coexistence of socialism and capitalism. The term 'Political Pop' was first used to define Wang Guangyi's 'Great Criticism' series which he began in the early 1990s. Biography of the artist is provided in the catalogue.
