Rated Excellent on Trustpilot.
Pequi Tree Miniature is a tin sculpture produced in Portugal in 2021, a limited edition of 250 that is numbered and signed, measuring 32 × 15 × 15 cm and in excellent condition, hand-cast and finished from start to finish, in its original packaging with insured shipping.
Description from the seller
Numbered and signed on the underside.
Pequi Tree Miniature is a sculpture based on Ai Weiwei's work Pequi Tree, 2018-2020, created at a 1:100 scale.
The sculpture is an artist edition, created exclusively at Serralves, Portugal.
It is limited to 250 pieces, numbered and engraved with Ai Weiwei's signature.
Like the 32-meter-high cast-iron sculpture Pequi Tree, this miniature reproduction made of tin also speaks of the disappearance of the harmonious coexistence between nature and humanity, transitioning from wood to metal and from mortal to eternal, serving as both an experimental object and a monument.
Each piece is hand-cast, polished, and finished, resulting in a semi-manual production process that makes it unique.
The project to create a miniature of the Pequi tree stems from the Serralves Foundation's intention to celebrate the unprecedented presentation of the monumental work in their installations, combined with the artist's aim to support Serralves and its cultural activities, as well as to raise awareness about environmental issues, including deforestation.
In original packaging
insured shipping
The sculpture was only taken out of its packaging for photographing.
Shipping between Christmas and New Year's Eve will only resume from January 2, 2026.
