Limited Edition Covers
Kui Hua Zi (Sunflower Seeds)
Ali Weiwei
Hand-painted porcelain and glass
Best known for his collaboration with Herzog & de Meuron, Chinese artist Ali Weiwei went from his usual monumental scale to miniature for our Made In China issue cover, but with the same emphasis on big ideas and metaphor. The sunflower seeds are made from hand-sculpted porcelain - a material invented in China. Sunflowers have iconic power in China, often associated with Mao Zedong.
