Wolves touching ground.

Cai Guo-Qiang is one of the most prominent living Chinese artists. Trained in theatre design, in 1999 he won the International Prize at the 48th Venice Biennale. He is best known for his firework-based set-piece installations and for drawings made using ink and gunpowder. In November, a set of 14 untitled drawings by the artist sold at Christie’s, Hong Kong, for £9.5m ($19.1m)—setting a new record for a Chinese contemporary artist at auction.

The Guggenheim in New York hosts Cai’s first major retrospective, I Want to Believe. And this until May 28th.On none of my trips to NY, I happened to find time to visit this museum.
Hopefully next time it will be possible. And hopefully it is before May 28th...
