Five Spice Street
Cover painting by Yue Minjun
Five Spice Street's cover is notable because it features a portion of a painting called Look at the World by Chinese artist Yue Minjun. (Here's the whole thing, which is about 9 x 7 feet). I don't recall ever seeing one of his paintings used to illustrate a book cover. Anyone know of other examples?
Check out Flickr and the artist's site for lots more images of his work. But whatever you do, don't miss this one.

Oh he's great. I worked on a magazine for the (UK) Sunday Times about the Saatchi Gallery's Chinese art exhibition in which his art was featured: tinyurl.com/nln9f2
There's this one, but it's about Chinese contemporary art, so it's an obvious choice. http://ursusbooks.com/item127685.html
