Art Trader Curator's Note:
Art Trader is pleased to offer allocation for Ai Weiwei’s "Everyone is a dragon" (2024). This work represents a critical evolution in the artist's practice—transforming his iconic Lego medium into a sophisticated, flat-surface fine art print. Produced by the master printmakers at Make-Ready in London, this is not merely a print; it is a technical feat utilizing the exact same ink supplier as Lego to achieve a color saturation that is physically impossible in standard lithography.
Collector's Focus: Technical Mastery & Cultural Weight
-
Engineering Grade Art: This edition is created using 15 distinct layers of silkscreen, a painstakingly slow process that builds physical depth and texture on the paper. The result is "Precise Alignment" and razor-sharp edges that mimic the snap of a plastic brick.
-
The Narrative Asset: The dragon is Ai Weiwei’s ultimate allegory for individual power and freedom. Owning this piece is more than collecting art; it is holding a stake in one of the most important political narratives of the 21st century.
-
Global Liquidity: While the edition is 1106, the global demand for Ai Weiwei’s signed works creates a highly active secondary market. This is a foundational "Blue-Chip" asset for any serious contemporary collection.
Broker Verified: Quality & Provenance
Art Trader guarantees the integrity of this asset. Our New York brokerage team verifies:
-
Registration (Alignment): Perfect. With 15 layers, any misalignment ruins the piece. Our inspection confirms razor-sharp registration with no "bleeding" between the pixel blocks.
-
Surface: Mint. Printed on heavyweight Somerset 410gsm paper (significantly thicker than standard editions), the paper holds the heavy ink load without waving or buckling.
-
Authentication: Confirmed. Hand-signed and individually numbered by Ai Weiwei.
