One of Europe's most prestigious French art publishers, Éditions Cercle d'Art, will release a substantial 232-page monograph on Li Chen in the first quarter of 2026. The volume features essays of over ten thousand words by Yuan-Chih Cheng, Head of Collections at the Musée d'art contemporain du Val-de-Marne (MAC VAL) in Greater Paris, and is designed by senior French designer Camille Delahousse with the assistance of François Meunier. Published as a bilingual French–English edition and printed and distributed in Europe, the monograph offers an in-depth examination of Li Chen's artistic development over more than three decades, presenting key representative works from all of his major series.
Éditions Cercle d'Art was founded in 1949 by Charles Feld (1919–1995) with the strong support of the leading figure of modern art, Pablo Picasso (1881–1973). Through more than seventy years of sustained dedication and development, the publishing house has established an unassailable reputation and standing within the European art-publishing field. Guided by his forward-looking understanding of the potential of print technologies and artistic dissemination, Picasso was actively involved with the publisher from its inception and continued to collaborate until the final years of his life, ushering in a distinguished era centred on the production of high-quality art books.
