Product Details
When designing his new illy Art Collection series, Ai Weiwei drew inspiration from his famous Colored Vases created in 2006. The ancient Neolithic vases, whose appearance and function the artist radically altered by dipping them in industrial paint cans, evoke the vital role that bold approaches to history, politics, and tradition play in redefining culture.
With these desacralized everyday objects, Ai Weiwei renews artifacts from the past through a process of adoption and destruction, transforming them into contemporary works of art. This act eradicates the historical and cultural value of the work, referencing the systematic destruction of history and culture that has continued in China from the Mao era to today's unbridled state capitalism.
The 2021 Ai Weiwei - Set of 4 Cappuccino Cups includes 4 limited edition cappuccino cups specially designed by Ai Weiwei for the illy art collection series in 2021.
