クリスティーズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (クリスティーズInstagram)「The concept of the Readymade is vital to Ai Weiwei's work, often appearing in the form of repurposed Ming and Qing dynasty furniture, architectural elements, and other relics of Chinese craftsmanship.⠀ .⠀ Inspired by the wood sold by street vendors in Jingdezhen, China, 'Iron Tree' is comprised of 97 found tree elements cast in iron and interlocked using a classic — and here exaggerated — Chinese method of joining.⠀ .⠀ This work is the largest and most complex sculpture to date in the artist's tree series, which he began in 2009 and was a central focal point in the artist's exhibition at Wakefield's Yorkshire Sculpture Park in 2014 entitled 'Ai Weiwei in the Chapel'.⠀ .⠀ As a legacy to his exhibition in Wakefield, Iron Tree has been situated in the historic Chapel courtyard of the Yorkshire Sculpture Park ever since.⠀ .⠀ Ai Weiwei (B. 1957), 'Iron Tree'.
