Beskrivelse
Ai Weiwei is a dynamic figure whose life and work continuously evolve, making him a magnetic presence in the cultural world. Known as much for his political activism and social media influence as for his innovative art and mastery of traditional Chinese crafts, his impact reaches far beyond the art scene.
This monograph offers an in-depth look at Ai Weiwei’s artistic journey up to his release from Chinese detention.
Based on TASCHEN's exclusive Collector's Edition, this book delves into every phase of Ai Weiwei's career, starting from his early days in New York to his latest projects. It showcases a wealth of visual content that highlights key moments such as his international breakthrough in the early 2000s, the iconic porcelain Sunflower Seeds installation at the Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall, his artistic response to the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, and his 2011 police detention.
Readers gain unique insight into Ai’s creative process through behind-the-scenes studio photos, production images, and numerous exclusive interviews. These reveal his influences and underline his significance as an artist.
The book also features texts by Uli Sigg, Ai’s longtime friend and former Swiss ambassador to China, and Roger M. Buergel, curator of documenta 12 in 2007, who presented Ai’s Fairytale piece.
