Art Trader Curator's Note:
Art Trader offers a verified example of Ai Weiwei’s "Middle Finger in Red." This work is derived from his seminal series, Study of Perspective, a global symbol of defiance against authority and the preservation of individual freedom. Originally released as a strictly timed 24-hour edition in 2023, the production window is forever closed. The final count was locked at 1,285, making this a finite asset in the global market.
Collector's Focus: Why Own This Asset?
-
The Power of the Symbol: This is arguably Ai Weiwei’s most recognizable motif. In the art market, "Iconic Imagery" drives liquidity. The radial red composition was created exclusively for this edition, distinguishing it from his photographic works.
-
Sold-Out Primary Access: This piece is no longer available from the studio or the Design Museum. You are acquiring a piece of history from the secondary market, fully verified by Art Trader.
-
Heavyweight Tactility: Unlike standard posters, this is a 2-color silkscreen printed on massive 410gsm Somerset Tub Sized Satin White paper. It has the physical weight and presence of a serious museum-grade print.
