When buying through the link there should have been a message there that says prints will be dispatched by May 19 while Vases will be dispatched by August 3rd. Whether you order through the link or official release the dispatch times will be the same.

All the stock we have left is meant for the official release so there will not be a restock of the room.

The shipping date is still the same...

Ai Weiwei Avant Art Releases 2023, by Poster Bob on Apr 21, 2023 17:35:40 GMT 1, Itโs an honest shame that you didnโt prioritize existing collectors and used a common link. I think that in the future you should consider in-person and museum-only sales, as the link given to the forum was clearly spread far and wide before many had a chance to even visit the museum.

Ai Weiwei Avant Art Releases 2023, by topper on Apr 21, 2023 17:48:28 GMT 1, Glass Vase and Free Speech are stunning and will be popular, but Human Flow is a very special piece of art:
- "Figures in motion, laden with bags, move in an endless circle at the centre of the print. Razor wire surrounds them. CCTV cameras look on ominously. Ai reflects on the importance of a personโs liberty to move, and the forms of persecution that may lead them to do so. Opaque layers of white and yellow ink are applied to a mirrored aluminium substrate โ subsuming onlooker and artwork in the reflective surface.
โIf there is one refugee, we are all refugees. It's not that you're potentially a refugee, or potentially involved. We are involved. We are refugees. This idea is not easy to establish, so I tried to make it beautiful. You can see the image, but you can also see yourself in the reflection.โ" -

I agree there should have been a unique code for those who actually visited the museum. Unfortunately the flippers on here have had a field day and wonโt care about agreements. |

As ultimately the mirror part is always the same, no matter the story |

Which "mirror works"? Other there other by Ai Weiwei or do you mean by other artists? In any case: obliged if you could share some artists and/or titles!

It's highly mirrored and with the yellow is subtle enough so that it takes a while to work out what's going on. It's one of those you have to see I think.

To be fair, the show was sold out on the weekend and I certainly canโt get there during opening hours Mon-Fri nor can most people. Iโm sure Avant Arte can come up with a solution for this in the future because the forum flippers just bought everything once that link was available.

Ai Weiwei Avant Art Releases 2023, by Acme Thunderer on Apr 21, 2023 18:51:09 GMT 1, Iโve got no interest in owning one of these, but it has been really refreshing to hear that forum members (the majority who will not flip) have been able to get these. There seems to have been a genuine interest in the art for once and not much talk about flipping.
There would never been enough prints/vases to go around, but itโs great that Avant Arte have thought about forum members so should definitely not be discouraged about doing this again in the future.
Well done Avant Arte and Iโm pleased for those who have got what they wanted. Seems like a win/win to me, which doesnโt happen that often. ๐

Avant, your correspondence and special attention given to this forum in regards to releases is much appreciated. I didnโt score a vase or print, but moving forward I hope you continue to hook up members here. Fact is a majority of us here are complete art addicts as opposed to flippers, and base our purchases accordingly. |

I have purchased other artwork from AA and emailed my direct contacts before all of this. First I was told there were no pre-sales, and then told pre-sales were sold out.

Ai Weiwei Avant Art Releases 2023, by gus on Apr 21, 2023 21:26:35 GMT 1, I think if you didnโt buy one and wanted to, then it is default a bad way of doing it, and all the flippers bought.
If you did manage to buy what you wanted, then it is great.
This seems to impact opinions on how things are done more than how things are done.
Personally (as a non flipping buyer) feel it is cool for avantarte to be active here joining in the community and helping with forum members questions. And as a new collector think itโs cool that itโs not just prioritised to old collectors.
Some cool discussions, insights, and irl photos on all the pieces.
Have a great weekend all.

I think this is unfair criticism of Avant Arte who have done an amazing job with this release, released the works at the show for visitors, provided access via the web site, and been pro-active on this forum where many have collected works. Their helpful presence here might be a first for the release of a major artistโs works.
Of course itโs disappointing for those who didnโt get what they wanted at this time, and demand was always going to outstrip supply, but at least there is still another drop coming.
