    In 1972, at the height of the so-called Ping Pong diplomacy, the rapprochement between China (Mao Zedong) and the United States (Richard Nixon), Philippe Van Snick creates his work Ping Pong.  For Ping Pong Revisited (2017), Van Snick uses his ten-color palette as well as the contrast between day and night - themes that were not yet present in his oeuvre at the time - to update the 1970's work.
