Ai Weiwei Pequi Tree Minature Tin Sculpture 1/100 Scale Edition of 250

2021

About the Item

Pequi Tree Miniature is a sculpture, created from the most recent work by Ai Weiwei, Pequi Tree, 2018-2020, and produced at a 1/100 scale. The sculpture is an artist’s edition, exclusive to Serralves, Portugal, limited to 250 copies, numbered and with engraved signeture by Ai Weiwei. This miniature replica made of tin, as the 32 meter high cast iron sculpture, Pequi Tree, witnesses the disappearance of the harmonious coexistence between nature and human beings, passing from wood to metal and from mortal to eternal, as an element of proof and as a monument. Each piece is welded, polished and finished by hand, resulting in a semi-manual production process, which makes it unique. The project to create a miniature of Pequi Tree arises from Serralves Foundation’s intention to celebrate the unprecedented presentation to the public of the monumental work in its installations, combined with the artist’s intention to support Serralves and its cultural activity, as well as to raise awareness of issues environmental issues, including deforestation.

  • Death of St Joseph Printed Basketball
    By Kehinde Wiley
    Located in Draper, UT
    Limited-Edition Basketball: "Death of St. Joseph" by Kehinde Wiley In the realm where art meets sport, a remarkable creation awaits - a limited-edition basketball adorned with the transcendent brushwork of Kehinde Wiley. Renowned for his profound reimaginations of classical portraiture, Wiley's influence on the contemporary art scene is as undeniable as it is transformative. About the Artist: Kehinde Wiley, born in Los Angeles in 1977, emerged as a luminary in the art world with a vision that defied convention. His journey was one of innovation, guided by a profound respect for history and a boundless determination to redefine it. Wiley's artistry is a testament to the dynamic interplay between tradition and reinvention. Deeply influenced by the 18th Century's classical biblical portraiture, Wiley's creative alchemy gave birth to "Death of St. Joseph." This awe-inspiring painting is a testament to his ability to traverse time and infuse ancient narratives with contemporary relevance. St. Joseph, a figure steeped in enigmatic art history, found new life under Wiley's masterful hand.

His canvases are a symphony of color, a dance of patterns and textures that echo the rich heritage of his subjects. Through this kaleidoscope, Wiley weaves a tale of inclusivity, inviting us all to bear witness to the beauty that unites us. The open hand...

  • "RAKU RED AND WHITE", wheel formed white glaze, copper red, gold leaf, sculpture
    By Andrew Cornell Robinson
    Located in Toronto, Ontario
    "RAKU RED AND WHITE", 2019, in wheel-formed white glaze with copper red blush, sprig, stamp, gold leaf and raku fired with kintsuji gold by artist Andrew Cornell Robinson, is one of a series of sculptural objects that include ceramic, glass and mixed media grottoes and containers. A project exploring the vessel form and notions of gratitude, plenty, poverty in material or humanity. Robinson has led artists to explore tableware as sculptural form – "Changing attitudes and emerging social behaviors in food preparation and the social and cultural rituals of eating have lead to changes in the way tableware is made and used." Andrew Cornell Robinson is an interdisciplinary artist working across media (ceramics, textiles, painting, prints, etc.). His work is influenced by collaborative craft communities, traditions, and the performative qualities of cultural production. The underlying ideas exploring identity, histories, rituals, and power in his work aim to create a space for intimate experiences and open narratives. He studied ceramic sculpture at the Glasgow School of Art and the Maryland Institute College of Art where he received a BFA. He was awarded an MFA from the School of Visual Arts, where he became interested in the intersection of memory, identity, politics, and power. He has been featured in many publications including Sculpture Magazine, Huffington Post, Hyperallergic, Art Info, et al. He has participated in curatorial and research projects and recently was a participating artist in Debtfair a project in the Whitney Biennial. Andrew has also worked on collaborations with designers such as Donna Karan’s Urban Zen project where his work in ceramics led to workshops with artisans in Haiti and the creation of a ceramic studio in Port-au-Prince. He is currently working with The Powerhouse Arts Workshop and their design team from the Pritzker-prize winning architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron in the design and development of a contemporary industrial fabrication center established to serve the working needs of artists in New York City. He is currently a member of the faculty at Parsons School of Design and Greenwich House Pottery in New York City. His work has been presented extensively throughout the world with the Anna Kustera Gallery, David & Schweitzer Contemporary, Christopher Stout...
