Offset lithograph Printed to 170gsm FSC paper - Signed - Published by the Imperial War Museum, London, on wove paper // This offset lithograph print by Ai Weiwei offers a detailed and chilling visual catalog of bombs, tracing their development and historical use. Displayed in stark metallic tones against a black background, the artwork meticulously depicts a variety of bomb designs, from conventional munitions to more modern and advanced models. The piece is as much a study in industrial design as it is a commentary on the destructive power and legacy of warfare. By arranging these objects systematically, Weiwei forces the viewer to confront the scale and impact of these weapons. Published by the Imperial War Museum, the print serves as both a historical reflection and a powerful anti-war statement.
