Styles

Porcelain, Silver pigment and human huali wood. Signed, Numbered and Dated. // Ai Weiwei's "Hanging Man in Porcelain" is a sculptural multiple from 2009 in porcelain, silver pigment and huali wood, signed, numbered and dated in an edition of one hundred. The work references Marcel Duchamp's iconic profile outline — the "Hanging Man" silhouette — transposing it into porcelain, a material inextricably woven into centuries of Chinese cultural heritage. By rendering a Western conceptual art icon in a medium synonymous with Eastern tradition, Ai Weiwei creates a provocative dialogue between cultures and artistic lineages. The silver pigment lends a spectral quality, while the huali wood base anchors the piece.

Artwork by John Baldessari

What is conceptual art?

Sometimes referred to as Conceptualism, this is an art form where the idea(s) or concept(s) behind the work take precedence over material concerns and traditional aesthetics. Many conceptual artworks can be created by anyone simply by following written instructions. The concept or idea is the most essential aspect of the artwork.
