Ai Weiwei reflects on his life and work through the Chinese art of papercutting in this limited-edition portfolio. Meticulously cut in large-format, colored fine-art paper, each of the eight pieces represents a decisive moment within the artist's oeuvre—from his time in New York in the '80s, his exploration of Chinese crafts in Beijing in the '90s, to the political activism of his recent work—offering a beautiful, personal retrospective in a unique format.

Collector's Edition of 250 copies. The portfolio presents eight papercuts, each signed by Ai Weiwei and accompanied by explanatory notes.

Papercut, 2019, signed by the artist in pencil recto, from the edition of 250 (there were also 24 artist's proofs), published by Taschen, London, 60 x 60 cm. (23.6 x 23.6 in.)
