Zhang Hongtu

This show represents the first U.S. survey of Zhang Hongtu, a Queens-based Chinese artist who left his homeland in 1982 to avoid his country's government censors—a move that was understandably prudent since his best known work, the “Mao” series, mocks the ubiquitous portraits of the Great Helmsman found on the mainland. That work is here, along with other pop-cultural satires of life and politics in contemporary China.
