Background


The album, named for its title track, is an homage to modern European art and culture; Chou himself is an avid art collector.[2] Prior to its release, Chou said the material would be "old sounds recorded with vintage instruments".[1]

Greatest Works of Art attracted attention due to users leaving low ratings for the album on Douban prior to its release, which Douban later removed and apologised for allowing in a post on Weibo.[3]


Promotion


Chou first released the album in June 2022 in a vlog filmed in Paris, where he also shot the music video for the title track.[1] The album was promoted on Spotify billboards in New York City, Toronto and Taiwan, with Chou also releasing a track-by-track commentary edition of the album on Spotify.[4]

The album became Chou's first album to chart in Australia,[5] debuting at number 29 on the chart dated 25 July 2022.[6]
