Ai Weiwei
Solo Exhibition

Ai, Rebel: The Art and Activism of Ai Weiwei
Seattle Art Museum, WA
March 12 - September 7, 2025

The Seattle Art Museum presents Ai Weiwei's first US retrospective in over a decade — and his largest-ever exhibition in the US.

 

Opening March 2025, Ai, Rebel will explore over 100 works created across four decades, from the 1980s to the 2020s, offering visitors from all over the world a rare opportunity to engage with the conceptual artist’s wide-ranging body of work. This career-spanning exhibition highlights Ai as a provocateur and identifies his key strategies for disrupting artistic canons and challenging political authoritarianism.

 

Iconic works from Ai’s career will be on view, including Dropping a Han Dynasty Urn (1995), Study of Perspective (1995-2011), several examples from his Han Dynasty Urn with Coca Cola Logo series, Sunflower Seeds (2010), and Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads (Gold) (2010); and will also debut works never shown in the US.
