The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, TX has recently announced their acquisition of Ai Weiwei's Water Lilies #4 , (2022).
As the final example from Weiwei's series of Lego®-brick reliefs that revisit famous artworks, which ultimately included four mural-scaled reliefs that pay homage to Claude Monet’s Water Lilies (c. 1914– 26), Water Lilies #4 is made from more than half a million Lego bricks, in 24 standard-issue colors, mounted on 10 aluminum panels that span almost 40 feet across.
The work will be on view starting September 6 as part of Material Presence, an exhibition featuring artists who have boldy rejected genre boundaries and the use of traditional media.
