Biography

Born in Beijing in 1957, Ai Weiwei is widely regarded as one of the most influential contemporary artists of the twenty-first century. Working across sculpture, installation, photography, film and architecture, he examines the relationship between culture, politics, history and individual freedom through a practice that is both artistically rigorous and socially engaged.

After studying and living in New York during the 1980s, Ai Weiwei returned to China where he became a pivotal figure in the country's contemporary art scene. His international reputation expanded through large-scale museum exhibitions, architectural collaborations and public installations that challenge conventional ideas of authority, heritage and cultural identity.

His works have been exhibited by leading institutions including Tate Modern, the Royal Academy of Arts, the Guggenheim Museum, the Hirshhorn Museum and numerous international biennales. Today, Ai Weiwei remains one of the most widely collected Chinese contemporary artists, with strong institutional validation and an established secondary market across major auction houses.
