Five historic works by Huang Rui have recently entered the collection of the Centre Pompidou, marking a significant institutional milestone for this leading figure of the Chinese avant-garde.
This acquisition underscores the importance of Huang Rui’s practice within the international history of contemporary art. A pioneering artist and co-founder of the Stars movement in the late 1970s, he played a decisive role in the emergence of an independent art scene in China. The inclusion of these works in a major museum collection confirms the historical relevance of his oeuvre and his lasting contribution to artistic dialogue across cultures.
