Summary:
Ai Weiwei, born in the Socialist People's Republic of China, is one of the most important artists of the present global art scene.

For example, he spread about 150 tons of porcelain sunflower seeds on the floor of the Tate Modern in London to remind especially young Chinese people of propagandistic pictures which show Mao Tse-tung in the middle of sunshine and sunflower seeds. This book embraces some of the astonishing works of the exceptional artist.
