Catalogue Note
According to Chang Dai-chien in California, "In California, he (Chang Dai-chien) created several unique works...He also painted on fiberglass (this lot) because of the surface's resemblance to rice paper. However, a witness records that the work was largely painted with the artist's fingers, which were cut on the fiberglass surface, after which the artist announced he wouldn't attempt another." Therefore, this is the only piece that the artist painted on fiberglass.
