Below the calm surface of Zeng Fanzhi’s monumental Mask Series, 1999, lurks a psychological tension and angst that is hinted at perhaps nowhere as vividly as in the chillingly frozen smiles of the two masked men caught mid-stride on a surreal beach scene. Zeng’s 'Mask' Series came after the artist’s decisive move to Beijing in 1993. Fanzhi's work is on view in our Evening Sale auction preview in New York at 450 Park Avenue through 16 May.
