I'm curious if the previously ordered ones will turn up in the original size.

I thought these would look quite impressive at the original size, but 50 x 50cm? Not so much.

Lucky whoever managed to get one in the giant 1270x1270 format!... The 50x50 format isn't bad either!... We're still talking about a great project by Ai Weiwei!
Also because, whoever purchased the large format, paid to have that large screenprint by Ai Weiwei on the wall.

I understood them to be a statement piece. Now drowned out by nearly any other piece of art you own.

As far as I know, no email. I asked a trusted person a few seconds ago, after I informed him of this change of direction. She too, of course, hopes that Ai Weiwei will send the large screen print for her wall.

What with the changing colour vase and now changing the print size, Weiwei's quality control is out the window

Let's hope that this change does not affect those who have already purchased the large format print.
If it is otherwise and they offer a refund, I am sure that many will get a refund.

You can't have such a big oversight and get the dimensions wrong. They've been going on like that for too many days.
I'm sure the change is due to the fact that sales are slow.
Someone should tell Ai Weiwei that money in people's pockets is scarce. It's not the size or edition number's fault.
We'll see what they do.

81x81 would have been a good size and links nicely to the overall topic.

Surely they will just offer a refund if the size is an issue to the buyer. Otherwise print set-up costs (inc embossing) would be double. More importantly, it would make the release inconsistent and out of whack and their fuck-up would be physically evident forever...

Not sure that logic applies. I mean, people will be paying the same price and get a much smaller image: not a good selling point.
I also don't see any bigger size prints shipped.
Not very professionally done in any case - as Circa sometimes doesn't. But it's also somewhat of a public/charity project

then I will ask for a refund and order cancellation and wonโt make sense this size for me

I understand your reasoning, it's a charity project, but it's not a color change that you may more or less like but it doesn't change the rest. Here size makes the difference.
We'll see what happens.
Maybe numbering and signing like Trial Proofs (T/P) would help.

As far as I'm concerned it has the same weight as a work of art by Jenny Holzer.
This is the version that I think the person who bought it and who I know liked.
Obviously Ai Weiwei makes a difference. But since Ai Weiwei is also a conceptual artist makes this work something truly special.
If you don't like conceptual art, then that's another matter.
