Engraved signature and numbering - Tin (welded, polished and finished by hand) // Ai Weiwei’s Pequi Tree is a mixed-media sculpture created in 2021, meticulously crafted from welded and polished tin. Standing at 32 cm tall, this piece resembles the organic, elongated form of a tree, specifically the pequi tree, which is native to Brazil. The artist has transformed this natural shape into a refined metallic structure, emphasizing texture and detail. The rough yet elegant surface evokes the resilience and endurance of trees, mirroring Weiwei's broader exploration of nature, strength, and cultural heritage. This piece is both a celebration of nature's form and a reflection on human interaction with the environment, signed and numbered by the artist.

What is minimalism?
Minimalism is a style in music and visual arts characterized by pared-down designs and simplicity. It began in Western art after World War II, gaining prominence particularly in American visual arts. Minimalism draws heavily on aspects of modernism and is often viewed as a reaction against Abstract Expressionism, as well as a precursor to post-minimal art practices. Prominent minimalist artists include Agnes Martin, Donald Judd, Robert Morris, Frank Stella, and Dan Flavin.
