Walasse Ting (born in 1929 or 1928 in Shanghai or Wuxi, China; died 17 May 2010 in New York) was a Chinese-American painter and poet known for brightly colored canvases, often featuring nude women, cats and other animals. His career linked Asia, Paris and New York, although sources differ on his birth year and birthplace.
After leaving China he spent time in Hong Kong and settled in Paris in 1952, where he met Karel Appel, Asger Jorn and Pierre Alechinsky, members of the CoBrA group. He later moved to New York, where his work drew on abstract expressionism and pop art. He began as an abstract painter, but from the mid-1970s his work turned toward a popular figuration built from broad fields of color in acrylic. He wrote thirteen books, including One Cent Life (1964), a portfolio of 62 lithographs by 28 artists. In 1970 he won a Guggenheim Fellowship for drawing. He lived in Amsterdam in the 1990s and died in New York in 2010. His works are held by museums such as the Guggenheim Museum, the Museum of Modern Art and Tate Modern.
