Ai Weiwei in Hyde Park , by HRE on Dec 11, 2022 18:51:16 GMT 1, The paper has two hands either side of the paper. That have been screened into the paper.
Ai weiwei then signed the middle. Both invisible to the eye and only under UV light. Cool piece and for a good cause.
I remember someone on here framed a picture with uv light in the frame, this could work for this print.

Ai Weiwei in Hyde Park , by Jules Leotard on Dec 12, 2022 0:41:24 GMT 1, I quite like the idea of having a nicely framed and matted "blank" piece of paper on the wall. I think I will keep it on a wall that has nothing else on it, so it really "pops". Okay, maybe I will put a UV flashlight on top of the frame or clicked to the side of it. I am excited for this. Great Ai-dea (do you see what I did there? If not, UV flashlight...).

Ai Weiwei in Hyde Park , by crassusstorm on Dec 12, 2022 14:13:23 GMT 1, It was very poignant on Human Rights Day at Speaker's Corner to receive this UV-signed paper - Ai Weiwei's homage to the 'A4 Revolution' or 'White Paper Movement' (so-called because of the pieces of blank A4 paper held by the demonstrators) protests in China. A special moment.

This a daft question, but the third picture down, the tall person with the fur jacket, who is this?
I went to an event a couple of months ago, and they were there, and wondered then who they were?

There seems to be a fine line. I feel he stays in-bounds. He shines a light on or emphatically punctuates those causes he is involved with. Example, I wasn't engaged with this organization prior to Ai Weiwei's Hyde Park 'event'. I am now following them and interested, not that as an individual, I will make that much of a difference. It's more about the flood of us impacting things. Each of us just one drop added.
Pretty similar to the Legacy of War post last week.

Ai Weiwei in Hyde Park , by Londown 01 on Jan 8, 2023 11:10:18 GMT 1, I bought it because I liked the idea and it really fits my budget.
I was thinking I bought a cheap printing paper signed by Ai Weiwei - and only realised later that it has his hands (with his middle finger!!) on it as well. Also, the quality of the paper is much better, a sturdy piece of A4 paper. But it just looks fantastic, and the thoughts behind it make this one of the best purchases ever. It is really a proper Ai Weiwei edition, signed by the man himself!

Any idea on value of these? Thereโs one on eBay but not sure if itโs overpricedโฆ I don't think this is in high demand as not many people enjoy looking at a piece of white paper. I saw one on Catawiki which sold for 233โฌ. And I guess he did a few hundreds of these. |

Ai Weiwei in Hyde Park , by Jules Leotard on Aug 15, 2023 23:14:43 GMT 1, I am working this up right now. I will post a picture when I am done, but it may be a few weeks. I am trying it a couple of ways and trying to make it not look like garbage. I bought a relatively inexpensive grow light (which works, but looks like garbage) to do this and I am trying to take it apart and reassemble it with an armature that overhangs the top like a proper brass museum light. Also, trying a couple different matting schemes.
Have you done anything with yours yet? Interested...

Ai Weiwei in Hyde Park , by Jules Leotard on Aug 15, 2023 23:18:35 GMT 1, Taxed? Do you have any idea how many of these were created? Between Hyde Park and the timed-sale, does anyone keep that information somewhere? I feel like someone asked Refugees International, does anyone know if they received a response?

I don't think that the gallery has or will disclose final numbers. My guess (no hard facts to support this) is that not that many were made.
If this is any indication of edition size, there is only one for sale on Artsy: its framed and the gallery thinks the right price is about 3,5k
