Collector Tips for Hao Ping

When we sawprints by Hao Pingfor the first time, we were astonished. We had never seen anything comparable before. A world of dreams is unfolding in front of ones eyes. Strong colors and exotic forms, fairy-like female bodies seem to hover in front of you.

The impressiveness of Hao Pings print works are underlined by their large sizes - from 60/60 cm (23.4/23.4 inches) to 90/90 cm (35/35 inches). The artist seems to prefer quadratic formats. All prints are limited editions with edition sizes from 30 to 200. They are signed, dated and numbered by the artist and were made in woodcut technique with multiple color blocks and personally printed by the artist on cheap offset paper. The quality of the paper for the early prints by Hao Ping is not what you may be used by contemporary Western artists. Chinese printmakers simply had nothing better available then.
