Ai Weiwei Coca-Cola Glass Vase, by pamplemousse on Oct 15, 2024 10:58:58 GMT 1, Red vase was ยฃ723 which was an absolute bargain.
Set of 5 work out at ยฃ3350 ea.
Pair or individuals are ยฃ3750 ea.
If edition for red one was 100 the equivalent price would be around ยฃ2k I reckon at release.
Personally think the black and white are the best for this piece...

Ai Weiwei Coca-Cola Glass Vase, by Art Attackkk on Oct 15, 2024 11:53:29 GMT 1, Iโm still on the lookout for a red vase if anyone wants to sell. Looking to pay ยฃ2000 to treble your money.
I think these new ones are simply carrying the money grabbing and have no real relation to the theme of Coca Cola. Red made sense. Possibly black and white, as they are colours in Coca Cola branding and would fit with the red one, but the others? Just random colours and feeding the addiction that collectors have that if there are 6 of something in different colours then many collectors simply have to try and obtain all 6 and canโt just have one, two, threeโฆ..I think creating a brown coloured vase to reflect the colour of cola itself would have made more sense than blue etcโฆ

Ai Weiwei Coca-Cola Glass Vase, by its all about me on Oct 15, 2024 12:44:10 GMT 1, Is it just me or are some of these new colours very unappealing. The AA opaque red one is far superior to any of these new ones in my opinion.
I still don't understand why they aren't bringing out a terracotta one. That would be the ideal one for me.

The point of the original pieces is that the vase IS NOT Coca-Cola but an antique. And yes, Coca-Cola has a lot of red, but that doesnโt mean it makes more sense with the vase than any other colour.

I like the new white version too, probably for similar reasons.

I've seen things go at Christies for twice the price of things you can pick up on e-bay and even from source.

Fairly recent fair art sales are around the ยฃ2k figure and theyโd have fair art fees deducted from those prices too. My best offer so far is ยฃ2200.

Yeah but I can take them down my local car boot and be lucky to get a tenner for them. If youโre a seller who presumably wants to make a profit surely youโd be patient and sell on the best platform, that being said after fees seller only took home about ยฃ3,200-3,300 at Christieโs assuming they paid some sellers fees |

I just can't figure out how these are going for less than those silver middle fingers.... The middle fingers are less user-friendly but they are classic Ai Weiwei. They are political and confrontational which is what AWW is known for. The glass vase, in comparison, is rather superficial and tacky. |

This is a bit unusual. What are you offering? That looks like the Artsy website to me. The "make offer" button is standard on all their listings. I very much doubt that Weng are taking offers on these new releases. |
