22-color screenprint . - Published by Pace Editions, Inc. Year of the Ox by Ai Weiwei is a 2021 screenprint composed of 22 colors, produced in an edition of 58 and published by Pace Editions, Inc. Measuring 40 x 40 inches, the work presents a grid of vividly colored ox heads rendered in a pixelated, graphic style. Set against alternating neon and saturated backgrounds, each image varies in palette, recalling Pop Art seriality while referencing the Chinese zodiac. The repeated motif suggests both individuality and mass production, themes central to Ai’s practice. By merging cultural symbolism with bold contemporary aesthetics, the print reflects on identity, tradition, and the circulation of images in global visual culture.

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.
