ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This is small version of Cash Fighting with 5 limited edition. Made by Bronze and 24K Gold Leaf plating. Yibai Liao's description of Cash Fighting "I was interviewed by an American critic in 2008, they asked me to talk about the views of China and the United States, I was shocked, because the question is too great for me, the artist; I am neither a historian nor a Politicians, but I still agreed to answer this question, but I want to use the sculpture to answer this question. At that time, I wanted to fight two people because when I was young, I realized that when I came to these two countries, I got the message that the two countries were always ready to fight. So from the very beginning, I designed the Monkey King fight with Mickey Mouse, Monkey King, Liberty fight, after a few rounds changing with my design, I thought why do not let the two VIP come out from the banknote directly hit? Let Chairman Mao rushed out of a hundred yuan, with boxing gloves and Benjamin Franklin punched out of a hundred dollars, but also to talk about international rules, you must wear a boxing gloves to fight, this framework out of " Money fighting "the most original idea; I hope this piece of work is ridiculous, but it is absolutely realistic, is a reflection of the reality of each day. Every day, Mao Zedong and Frank Benjamin are fighting, and every day affects our real life. In the exhibition "Imaginary Enemy" in 2009, "Money Fighting" is a three-foot height work. Later, my piece and two sculptures of Cinderella High Heel were taken by the National Harbor MGM of Washington, Gome's artist sea election, I was invited to design a seven-foot-tall version of the MGM, the invited artist also included Bob Dylan who welded big sculptures, his metal sculpture is located at the entrance to the casino door, my "Cash Fighting" is located in the hotel lobby, " Cinderella" high heels are located next to Sara Jessica Parker's high-heeled shoe stores. On the evening of December 8, 2016, at the grand opening of the MGM Grand Hotel at the National Harbor in Washington DC, the highways to the National Harbor were struck by heavy traffic; Peoples run to MGM desired to try their new lucky life. At the opening reception, I told MGM's boss Mr. James Murren, that I had always dreamed of when I could be a fighter in the UFC cage at MGM , I also like to train myself, then watched TV know that the MGM hotel in Las Vegas, there is a very famous boxing match and UFC cage game, in particular, I want to attend; later learned art, no The opportunity to become a professional combat player, but I made two of the most fierce boxers fight every day, placed in the MGM hall, so that they make enough every day."
