Ai Wei Wei charity auction on ebay, by kel on Oct 18, 2017 11:07:56 GMT 1, Got the poster yesterday, but decided to get the hand too this morning. You're not likely to get an Ai Wei Wei edition for this type of money very often. Did exactly the same myself it will definitely be a talking point when on display and as you rightly said at this money it really is a no brainer.
Going to have to start dumping some of the portfolio though as this is looking like an expensive couple of months on the Art buying.

Ai Wei Wei charity auction on ebay, by treweman on Oct 18, 2017 11:43:11 GMT 1, On the fence about the sculpture. I don't tend to buy art that isn't signed, and I'm not very taken with the shiny siver look. The edition size isn't a concern for me, as the money for this edition is going for a good cause. I do like being able to think about the purchase ... less stress.

Money, money, money, bargain, bargain, bargain, money, money, showoff, showoff, flippers... same same sh*t all over, what a rotten world we are in. I wonder, since when funding public art event in posh NY falls under charity ? Fake philanthropy is a very effective method to get visibility. Cognitive marketing at best... but then half of people (if not more) who bought this don't even know for which cause they bought it for. Well done ! I give my middle finger to this.
i happen to live in the East Village and have had the pleasure of seeing this installation go up across the city, and talk with some of the folks that work at Public Art Fund. If for nothing else, buying art to help fund even one city-wide Ai Weiwei installation, while also bringing mass attention to the immigration crisis, is better than giving it to the Lazarideโs of the world.

" you just made my day. so hilarious". My 6 year son also find pictures of middle fingers funny. Who doesn't? This little brat - I often call him Bart in ref. to Bart in the Simpsons - even used the scanner at the director's room to scan his middle finger; it is proudly hanged in his room for all his friends to see. Some friends don't like it, some are totally puzzled and have no words, many find it funny but I had never seen a kid dead laughing to point it made his day... But no worry, laughing is good for the health, even at stupid things. Go on, here some more fun for tomorrow: poop on the poo chute, wee-wee on the willy, yukky wind. I rest my case, I shared my opinion, there are many wrongs there. If you disagree, at least be constructive and don't act like kids.

You just made my day. So hilarious. I rest my case, I shared my opinion, there are many wrongs there. If you disagree, at least be constructive and don't act like kids. Also if you had bothered to engage your brain cells, you would have understood that the picture is a perfect illustration of what Weiwei would have actually replied to the post it was a reply to if he had been handed a similar speech. And that is what is hilarious, not the picture itself. In short, anyone who would question Weiwei's intentions and pretend it is for the money and not charity would have been handed a finger. Weiwei is a well known activist. But I bet your 6 year old son knows that too. If so, ask him to teach you. |
