Ai, Weiwei | Vase (Mustard), 2024 — available on Composition Gallery

Murano Glass. Signed and numbered on the accompanying certificate and inscribed on the bottom.

Ai Weiwei’s Vase (Mustard) (2024) reimagines a classical ceramic form in richly pigmented Murano glass, boldly embossed with the iconic Coca-Cola logo. At once elegant and subversive, the work critiques consumerism and the globalization of culture. By fusing traditional craftsmanship with pop iconography, Weiwei continues his exploration of cultural value and authorship. The mustard hue evokes both vibrancy and industrial polish, underscoring the tension between art and mass production. Each vase is inscribed on the underside and accompanied by a signed and numbered certificate, from a total edition of 100.

Ai Weiwei (China, 1957) is a globally influential artist and activist blending conceptual art with political commentary. Known for provocative works like Sunflower Seeds and Dropping a Han Dynasty Urn, he critiques authority, censorship, and human rights abuses. His installations, films, and public interventions challenge societal norms and inspire global dialogue.

If my art has nothing to do with people's pain and sorrow, what is 'art' for?

- Ai Weiwei

Receiving worldwide acclaim for his activism, Ai Weiwei’s work spans across several mediums as an architect, curator and filmmaker. Ai’s most recognised social commentaries pertain to the Chinese government and the loss of traditional culture; Sunflower Seeds - a piece displayed at the Tate Modern - featured the scattering of over 60 million hand-painted porcelain ‘seeds’, an allusion to the destructive nature of mass consumption and the subsequent loss of individuality. Prior to the cultural revolution that took place in China, Ai and his family had first been sent to a labour camp, then subsequently exiled for 16 years. Upon the Chinese reform, Ai moved to New York and was notably influenced by the work of Andy Warhol and Marcel Duchamp; he also met beat poet, Allen Ginsberg, around this time, and developed his own philosophies on the schism between Western and traditional cultures. Coca Cola Vase is another of Ai’s most acclaimed works; a Han dynasty urn that has been emblazoned with the Coca Cola logo – another nod to the ever-expanding consumerist culture. (Artist website)
