Lithograph on Rives BFK paper - Sheet: 43 1/4 x 31 1/2 in. (109.8 x 80 cm) // Yue Minjun’s Untitled (Smile-ism No. 9) (2006) is a lithograph that epitomizes his signature surrealism and exploration of human expression. In this work, two large, pale hands form a frame around a small, seated figure, who mirrors the smile and gestures often seen in Minjun’s other self-referential pieces. The hands dominate the foreground, while the figure within the “frame” appears isolated, accentuating a sense of introspection and irony. Known for his exaggerated, laughing self-portraits, Minjun’s work often critiques social and existential themes. The subtle color palette and the expression of the isolated figure evoke a contemplative atmosphere. Printed on Rives BFK paper, the sheet measures 109.8 x 80 cm and is part of a limited edition of 45.

What is Political Pop?
Political Pop was an art movement that emerged in China during the 1980s, blending the Pop Art style of Western countries with the socialist realism of China. This movement arose during a time of rapid social and political change in China, as artists sought to create works that questioned and critiqued these cultural shifts. Political Pop often juxtaposed iconic images from Chinese propaganda with Western consumer culture, highlighting the tensions between tradition and modernization.
