Danielle de Picciotto is an american artist living in Berlin, Germany. She works as a painter, illustrator, filmaker and musician.

More than any other Chinese artist, Zhang, with his huge paintings depicting family photographs taken during the Cultural Revolution, has captured the imagination of international collectors. Prices for his work have skyrocketed at auctions over the last three years. Perhaps more than any other artist in this group, Zhang Xiaogang has departed the most from his early works, and evolved the most over time.
