Details

Artist

Styles

Porcelain, Silver pigment and human huali wood. Signed, Numbered and Dated. // Hanging Man in Porcelain is a conceptual work by Ai Weiwei that bends a wire coat hanger into the profile silhouette of a human face, widely understood as a tribute to Marcel Duchamp, and mounts it upon a white porcelain tile within a simple wooden frame. The piece distils multiple art-historical references into a single resonant gesture: the readymade tradition, the cultural weight of Chinese porcelain, and the subversive wit of Duchamp's legacy. Ai Weiwei's characteristic economy of means yields an object at once playful, erudite, and quietly defiant in its conceptual clarity.

What is Chinese contemporary art?

Chinese Contemporary Art is marked by a wide range of styles and experimental approaches. In the 1980s, avant-garde exhibitions were often shut down by government officials. The 1990s saw the rise of political pop and cynical realism, while China's One-Child Policy influenced artists to explore the individual as a subject matter.
