New Ai Weiwei sculpture TO BE LOOKED AT, by Poster Bob on Aug 4, 2024 12:04:52 GMT 1, The edition size is too large and the price way too high in the current market. I canโt understand why they are making so many at such a high cost. It is a great piece though and one that I would have jumped at had the cost been much lower,

New Ai Weiwei sculpture TO BE LOOKED AT, by rafael on Aug 4, 2024 16:35:47 GMT 1, Pricing for his editions rarely makes sense.
Last Cedar Tree sculpture was an edition of 50 for 1200ยฃ.
How would anyone think it would be a good idea to price this at 2448USD for an edition of 500?
What size is this? And where is it available?

Size is 35cm (W) ร 15.2cm (H) ร 17.5cm (D) and will be available via AvantArte in October (shipping in April). AA currently sending out early access to collectors.
Not sure how popular it will be be at this prizelevel and edition size. I quite like the piece, but not for this price/edition size.

If true, could you provide us with a description or something? I'm not interested in the release, but curious if there is something other than "surveillance cameras" to it?!

Ai Weiwei turns the camera on collectors with an edition of sculptures in cut aluminium.
Surveillance and Ai Weiwei have a long history. From paper lanterns calling attention to the invasion of his privacy by the Chinese government to an architectural installation which followed art fair attendees threateningly through an unlit room, he has created works of art that reflect on the acts of looking, and being looked at. Conceptually, the works build on his observations about the ways in which surveillance embodies and upholds pre-existing dynamics of power.
To Be Looked Atโฆ takes the form of a bank of CCTV cameras, pointing in multiple directions for uninterrupted vision. The sculpture can be either wall-mounted or displayed on a flat surface.
Installed in homes around the world, the cameras and their pseudo-surveillance embody Weiweiโs wry humour. At the same time, they acknowledge an experience that has become โ in 2024 โ an inescapable part of being alive.

Anyways, I think for the general idea you can check what has been written about his other camera sculptures.
Edit: Had the page open too long as it seems...

Definitely one of the better editioned sculptures from Ai Weiwei for me. Unfortunately price/edition size seems way too high.

Think so too, unless there is a twist to it that I don't see. What's the message? That there is surveillance cameras, and they look everywhere?

It's not even well constructed. The base is far too big and the cameras are far too small in comparison.

New Ai Weiwei sculpture TO BE LOOKED AT, by Fast Eddie on Oct 1, 2024 1:44:36 GMT 1, The edition size is 200.
I believe it also refers to the Marcel Duchamp's piece "To Be Looked at (from the Other Side of the Glass) with One Eye, Close to, for Almost an Hour" with which Ai Weiwei also interacted in some earlier photographic work. See www.newyorker.com/goings-on-about-town/art/ai-weiwei-according-to-what
I collect political art and I cannot resist the temptation of surveillance cameras.

Would love to see the collection, maybe start a thread for poltiical art? more needed now than ever IMO. Here's an original 1968 Ateliere Populaire paste up "The struggle continues" alongside Jamie Reid and Ai Weiwei |

The Design Museum / AA Vase and print releases from last year seemed underpriced on release and everything that has followed since has seemed overpriced.

There is also a funny story about Chinese police cameras placed outside of his studio in Beijing and Ai Weiwei starting to online broadcast from his own indoor cameras to "help" authorities film where they could not.
In any case, Ai Weiwei has a massive upside option value the moment China loosens political control and demand can surge back. It may not happen soon, but it might, at some point.
