Blue Ai Weiwei Hand-Painted Limited Edition Cover and Hardback Catalogue
by Ai Weiwei Hon RA
Published to coincide with his major exhibition at the Royal Academy, this book explores the multidisciplinary work of Ai Weiwei Hon RA in texts by Tim Marlow, John Hancock and Daniel Rosbottom.
For this special edition, Ai Weiwei hand-painted hardback dust jackets in a selection of ten colours. Produced in a limited number of 110, each dust jacket is signed and numbered by the artist, and presented on the book in a clothbound clamshell box.
Artist edition dust jacket in blue, hand painted by Ai Weiwei Hon RA for his landmark exhibition at the Royal Academy in 2015. The bold painterly design is reminiscent of Ai Weiwei's Coloured Vases where the artist dipped antique Chinese pots into brightly coloured paint which was then left to run down the side of the vessels, much like the paint on the dust jacket.

From architecture to installations, social media to documentaries, Ai uses a wide range of mediums as expressions to set up new possibilities and conditions for his audience to examine society and its values.
Ai Weiwei was elected an Honorary Royal Academician in 2011.
