Ai Weiwei. 40th Ed (Taschen GmbH)

Renowned for his political remarks and social media activity almost as much as for his art, which is based on social interventions, a contemporary approach to the readymade, and his familiarity with Chinese traditional crafts, Ai Weiwei’s fame extends throughout and beyond the art world. This monograph explores each of the periods of Ai’s work until his release from custody.
