Ai Weiwei’s Iron Root (2015) sold to a Middle Eastern collector for €500,000 at Lisson Gallery (FL, B5). Cast in iron, the “tree stump” is coated in purple car paint, the shade of which is surprisingly popular among China’s growing number of car owners.
Abraham Cruzvillegas created Dos pequeños cuartetos para voces a boca cerrada en cuartos de tono in 2005. This early conceptual work made from glass and mirror, which predates the Mexican artist’s autoconstruccións, was bought by a UK collector for an undisclosed sum at Kurimanzutto (FL, D7).
Correction: Ai Weiwei's Iron Root sold for €500,000 and not €1m as was initially reported
