  • Description

    This picture was inspired by the poles that Wang Huaiqing saw in Venice, to which the gondolas are tied. He added little feet to some of the poles, hence the title.

    Based on extract from Sullivan, Michael, Modern Chinese Art: The Khoan and Michael Sullivan Collection (Oxford: Ashmolean Museum, 2009)
