Ai Weiwei Avant Art Releases 2023, by Londown 01 on Apr 15, 2023 10:03:41 GMT 1, I don't think there is one. And given the very limited nature of these items, I fear these will be sold out soon - if they haven't already.
I like it when a proper print is properly limited, but it wouldn't have hurt to make the prints an edition of 200, 300?!

Ai Weiwei Avant Art Releases 2023, by Londown 01 on Apr 15, 2023 10:27:50 GMT 1, I don't live in the UK and only go by what was said in the thread; so these are my best guesses:
1) The Design Museum: somebody on here that they are out of items; they only ship in the UK; there was the opportunity to get in touch with them via chat and then receive an URL ... but since they seems to have no items left, I guess its futile anyways
2) Avant Arte: the employee on here said that we could try to pre-order via Avant Arte; but since there are no responses and they will receive oh so many requests, I fear that most requests will be answered negatively. After all, they need to keep some for an official launch, no?

Ai Weiwei Avant Art Releases 2023, by crassusstorm on Apr 15, 2023 11:42:41 GMT 1, I, too, really love the Glass Vase. I thought it would be good to post the accompanying details. Really nice that it is made on Murano, an island with a history of glass making dating back to the 13th century!
Ai Weiwei
Glass Vase
Uniqueness Edition of 300
Dimensions
โ 20.5cm x 18.5cm
Medium Cast vase in translucent red glass.
Finishing Artistโs signature engraved on base.
Antiquity and life under capitalism coalesce in an edition of glass vases by Ai Weiwei.
Traditional Chinese ceramics have appeared in Aiโs work on numerous occasions, most notably in 1995 when he dropped (and smashed) a priceless Han Dynasty urn on camera. The artist has also adorned similarly-irreplicable urns with the iconic Coca-Cola logo in red paint. With such artworks Ai juxtaposes new with old, and artisanal skill with mass manufacture โ questioning the value we ascribe to the objects that surround us.
Cast in translucent red glass using an iron mould on Murano โ a group of islands in the Venetian Lagoon renowned for glassmaking โ each vessel entails a new juncture for the artistโs ongoing reflections on iconography, repetition and commodification.

I'm just hoping they make more colourways of these - as they did with the finger sculptures.

From now until the release date, I would try to save money to buy one. Let's hope they really put away some vases.
Thanks for bringing hope. :-)

It seems that quite a few people on here had access to the pre-sale room on Avant Arte: it would have been a kind move and in the true spirit of a forum to share this information earlier. Not just let everybody know that the items are sold out.

Sorry, for not being clear on this: not that there is a pre-sale room, but how you can access it. That info was on here for quite a long time when items were still available.
Hope you all got what you wanted - I didn't.
