Walasse Ting (b. Shanghai 1929, d. New York 2010) Woman and black cat. Signed with the artist's red stamp. Watercolour and acrylic on thin paper. Visible size 67×96 cm. Provenance: Private collection. Not previously offered for sale. In 1952, Walasse Ting left Shanghai to seek new avenues in Paris. Like so many other artists of the time, he was dirt poor and furthermore home- and friendless upon his arrival in the city. For the next 8 years, Ting established close relationships – artistically and privately - with several of the CoBrA artists, including Asger Jorn whom he was heavily inspired by at the beginning of his artistic career. “There is no doubt that Walasse Ting had a special relationship with Denmark and the Danish modernists who were a defining part of the European art scene in the 1950s and 1960s. His friendship and collaboration with these artists expanded his artistic range and enhanced his ability to integrate and assimilate different idioms into his own expression.” (Quote by Jesse Ting - the artist's son - in the article “Previously unknown works by Walasse Ting exhibited in Paris”, Ritzau, 2017) This lot is subject to Artist's Royalty . Artist’s Royalty In accordance with Danish copyright law, an additional royalty fee is to be paid for the purchase of works by contemporary Danish artist and some international artists who are either still alive, or who died within the last 70 years. × Read more
