Ai Weiwei\u2019s Zodiac Heads/Circle of Animals was of special interest to his captors last year. It is made of twelve large bronzes of animal heads, which are reproductions of the ones made by European missionaries for the Chinese Emperor in the eighteenth century. The original sculptures were stolen by British and French troops in the nineteenth century. Two of the stolen sculptures emerged at an art auction at Christie\u2019s in Chinese nationalists were outraged; Ai Weiwei was amused because the originals were European. In a gesture of ridicule, the artist decided to make his own version.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
