The China Bag 'Cats & Dogs' Tote by Ai Weiwei
About the Item
Red PVC bag with transparent inlay
Measures: 18.5 x 25.4 inches (without handles)
edition of 2,500
custom gift box
This limited edition tote by Ai Weiwei is both the ultimate beach-to-dinner tote and beautiful enough to frame and hang on your wall. The bag takes its motif from a papercut created by Weiwei as part of his Papercut Portfolio published in 2019. The image is cut out of durable PVC with a transparent inlay to keep things from falling out.
Using the traditional Chinese art of the papercut, Ai Weiwei’s Cats and Dogs reflects on a decisive period in the artist’s life and work: from his return to Beijing in 1993 after a decade-long stay in New York to building his renowned Caochangdi home and studio on the Beijing outskirts in 1999. At the center of the papercut, he gives the finger to the Forbidden City, effectively obscuring the portrait of Mao Zedong that presides over Tiananmen Square. This motif is from a 1995 photo- graph that marked the beginning of his series Studies of Perspective, in which his outstretched middle finger measured the Eiffel Tower, the Mona Lisa, the White House, and many other sights and non-sites around the world.
