Zhang’s ash painting, as it was being produced. (Photos by C-M.)

Photos from the opening of Zhang Huan’s show at Pace Wildenstein. It was totally over the top. In a good way. His most prominent piece was a giant ash painting, which was created on the surface of adjoining six-foot tall concrete blocks. You have to climb several steps, up onto a scaffolding, to see the piece, which was being touched up by a young woman in white, who would float over it and flick little piles of ash on various strategic locations. I was afraid to sneeze.

More pix after the jump. Click on images to see ‘em big.

They had these bicycle rickshaws outside the gallery to take people to other parts of Chelsea for gallery openings. For reals.

The show is up through July 25th.
