It brings Ai’s vast collections together from Neolithic stone tools to modern, mass-produced objects, creating a dialogue and tension between traditional craftsmanship and modern-day manufacturing.

Features interviews, essays, and in-depth analysis of the multi-disciplinary artist and visionary.

Contributors include Tim Marlow, Brian Dillon, Rachel Hajek, Julia Lovell, Justin McGuirk, Wang Shu and Eyal Weizman.

A must-have for anyone who attended this fantastic exhibition or is a fan of Ai Weiwei's work. Stunning images and insightful writing. Beautifully produced.

beautiful book

I bought the catalogue as a gift for my partner after we had been to the exhibition. The book is expensive but the content and production justify the cost. He is very happy with his gift.
