Weiwei is an installation artist whose work with another artist commemorating the deaths of thousands of students in the massive Chinese earthquake of 2008 and other public protests against Chinese authoritarianism got him jailed and beaten; his studio was destroyed last year and China will not allow him to leave the country.

One of Weiwei’s best known nonpolitical pieces is “Sunflower Seeds,” an installation of 8 million sunflower seeds that was purchased by the Tate Gallery in London.
