A key figure of Cynical Realism, Yue Minjun uses repetition and theatrical expression to question collective identity, social conformity, and the contradictions of contemporary life. Here, the monumental scale (110 × 90 cm) amplifies the work’s emotional impact, while the crisp lithographic technique enhances its graphic clarity. Signed and numbered 22\/45, printed in Korea and published in New York, this limited edition offers a compelling opportunity to acquire one of the most iconic motifs in contemporary Chinese art—backed by strong provenance directly from the publisher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"Polaris-Header-Title\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1291\" data-start=\"1267\" style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eShipping \u0026amp; Delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1460\" data-start=\"1267\"\u003e✔ Worldwide shipping from France\u003cbr data-end=\"1329\" data-start=\"1326\"\u003e✔ Professional packaging with insurance\u003cbr data-end=\"1371\" data-start=\"1368\"\u003e✔ Tracking number included for secure delivery\u003cbr data-end=\"1420\" data-start=\"1417\"\u003e✔ Certificate of authenticity included\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mb-2 whitespace-pre-line last:mb-0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"S1PPyQ\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"Collection Yue Minjun\" href=\"https:\/\/lynartstore.com\/collections\/yue-minjun?_pos=1\u0026amp;_psq=Yue\u0026amp;_ss=e\u0026amp;_v=1.0\"\u003e➡️ See all available works by Yue Minjun\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1016\" data-start=\"1013\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"Contact\" href=\"https:\/\/lynartstore.com\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003e➡️ Contact us for any question\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mb-2 whitespace-pre-line last:mb-0\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1374\" data-end=\"1386\"\u003eFAQ \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1388\" data-end=\"1579\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1388\" data-end=\"1439\"\u003eIs this Yue Minjun artwork an original edition?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1439\" data-end=\"1442\"\u003eYes. \u003cem data-start=\"1447\" data-end=\"1476\"\u003eUntitled (Smile-ism No. 14)\u003c\/em\u003e is an authentic limited edition lithograph by Yue Minjun, signed and numbered 22\/45 on the lower edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1581\" data-end=\"1683\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1581\" data-end=\"1624\"\u003eWhat technique was used for this piece?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1624\" data-end=\"1627\"\u003eThe work is a lithograph in colors on paper, dated 2006.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1685\" data-end=\"2063\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1685\" data-end=\"1730\"\u003eDoes the artwork come with documentation?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1730\" data-end=\"1733\"\u003eNo certificate is mentioned in the provided information.
