Major Exhibitions Across China Feature Warhol Retrospective, Hergé's Tintin, and Contemporary Explorations

exhibition · 2026-04-20

The Power Station of Art in Shanghai is showcasing 'Tintin and Hergé' through 31 October, highlighting Hergé's artistic journey and influences, notably 'The Blue Lotus' (1934-1935), which illustrated China amid the 1931 Japanese invasion. Hergé's acquaintance, Zhang Chongren, provided insights into Chinese culture, and although Chiang Kai-shek extended an invitation to Hergé for a visit to China, it ultimately did not take place. Meanwhile, UCCA Beijing features 'Becoming Andy Warhol' until 10 October, displaying 400 pieces, including a replica of The Factory's iconic red couch. Yan Bing's exhibition 'Suddenly Everything Became Clear' is on view at Shanghart's Shanghai HQ until 17 October, alongside 'AI Delivered: The Abject' at Chronus Art Center, also running until 17 October. Kenny Scharf's 'Earth' at Almine Rech Shanghai is available until 9 October, and Para Site in Hong Kong presents 'Liquid Ground' until 14 November. Sherrie Levine's first exhibition at David Zwirner is open until 13 October.
