VIP Art Fair Sells Ai Weiwei

January 27, 2011 by Marion Maneker

Artnet.com has London dealer Kenny Schachter describing his experience on VIP Art Fair. In the process, Schachter records a sale from Galleri Faurschou:

I noticed that sets of ten painted ceramic pots by Ai Weiwei were on offer at both Gallery Hyundai and Galleri Faurschou. The artist splashes vibrant, very modern paint across the tops of neolithic clay vases, which are apparently widely available in China despite their age. […] The example at Hyundai, I later discovered, was marked sold at $150,000.
