Galerie du Monde is pleased to share that Liu Kuo-Sung’s iconic work The Ring B is featured in the “Kathmandu Triennale 2077” in Nepal.

Featured artwork:
Liu Kuo-Sung
The Ring B (1973)
Ink, Acrylic and Collage on Paper
In 1972, the crew of Apollo 17 took the famous Blue Marble image of the Earth, which inspired Liu to create The Ring B a year later. This painting juxtaposes the earth shaped by the millennia of human imagination with a photograph taken from 29,000km away in space. Human traditions, myths and history approach the actual image for a cosmic rendezvous.
