Next Thursday, November 17th (6-8pm), the Paul Kasmin gallery will be presenting a gold set of Ai Weiwei’s bronze sculptures, Zodiac Heads, to the public. Other larger renditions of the twelve animal heads, each depicting a part of the Chinese zodiac, have already been shown at the Pulitzer Fountain (Central Park) in New York and the LACMA in Los Angeles, but this showing will be accompanied by a book launch. Ai Weiwei: Circle of Animals, edited by Susan Delson and published by Prestel in association with AW Asia includes is 222 pages with 180 illustrations, 165 of which are in color. For his fans in NY, here is your chance in a small part to get some money to the activist artist, just like the thousands of Chinese that have been donating to pay his alleged back taxes to the Chinese government.
