Went for 300K a kilo. Next day 375K.....
Expensive stuff. Way more precious then gold or platinum.
It's used for catalysts.

Would be great for the charity with an edition of 1,000 though.

Solid Silver may of been the way to go, far cheaper a material but still giving a cool effect - and you could melt it down and sell for scrap if times got really hard |

A signed piece of art by the world famous artist Al Wei Wei for less than $800 is a no brainer.
For those forum members on a limited budget - this is a nice way to start or expand your budding collection.

For those forum members on a limited budget - this is a nice way to start or expand your budding collection. Just out of curiosity...the description says "Artistโs signature inscribed on the base". Do people think he inscribed 1000 of these himself or that they were done by a machine or during the manufacturing process? If they were done by a machine, is it still considered a signed piece of art or is that similar to a plate signature on a print? |

That's actually a good point. Anyone, thoughts? I believe it is etched, not hand signed It definitely says "inscribed" so I'm assuming they're not hand-signed, so I wouldn't really consider the sculpture a signed Ai Weiwei art piece. To me, it's the same as a plate signed print, but curious what other people think. |

Agree - it's not a "Ai Weiwei" - kinda like a "Banksy" boxset is not a "Banksy" I guess
