Ai Weiwei es el más influyente del mundo del arte . La revista de arte contemporáneo no es el único que vio la onda fantástica de la energía impulsada por la lucha incesante del artista chino por la libertad de expresión, o el apoyo internacional que ordenó durante su encarcelamiento de 81 días en Pekín. Bianca Jagger, fundadora y presidente de "Bianca Jagger Human Rights Foundation", es también un ferviente admiradora de Ai, y el viernes se le otorgó un premio, diseñado por el artista Marc Quinn, en colaboración con Swarovski.
Ai Weiwei se presentó el "Premio al Valor" en reconocimiento"por su dedicación heroica a la libertad de expresión y los principios democráticos", durante una gala y subasta benéfica celebrada en Phillips Pury de Londres que inauguró Bianca Jagger "Artes para los Derechos Humanos ,"una empresa de recaudación de nuevos fondos para su fundación. El jefe Almir Surui Narayamoga, el líder del Clan del pueblo Suruí de Rondonia en Brasil, fue galardonado con el"Premio de Liderazgo" para la defensa apasionada de la tierra de su pueblo en la Amazonía. Ni Ai Weiwei, ni jefe Almir Surui Narayamoga estuvieron presentes, aunque el cacique Almir estaba vinculada a la estelar comedor a través de una webcam.
Con Swarovski como patrocinador principal, la cena estaba destinada a ser brillantes - y la lista de invitados no defraudó tampoco. Artistas y diseñadores estrella de Tracey Emin, MarcQuinn, Ron Arad, Zaha Hadid, y Shaw Raqib estuvieron presentes, así como Nadja Swarovski, Jade Jagger y Vivienne Westwood. Simon de Pury condujo la subasta, que recaudó £ 721.000 ($ 1,139,067.34) - una cantidad respetable, pero aún lejos de la meta de $ 2 millones. Parece que incluso los filántropos millonarios están sintiendo el impacto.
Bianca Jagger Gives Ai Weiwei an "Award for Courage" as Her Charity Auction Raises $1.1 Million at Phillips
LONDON— Last week Art Review dubbed Ai Weiwei the art world's most influential player in its Power 100 list. The contemporary art magazine isn't alone in having spotted the fantastic wave of energy fostered by the Chinese artist's unremitting fight for freedom of speech, or the international support he commanded during his 81-day incarceration in Beijing. Bianca Jagger, founder and chair of the Bianca Jagger Human Rights Foundation, is also a fervent admirer of Ai, and on Friday she awarded him a prize, designed by artist Marc Quinn in collaboration with Swarovski.
Ai Weiwei was presented the "Award for Courage" in recognition "for his heroic dedication to free speech and democratic principles" during a gala and charity auction held at London's Phillips de Pury, which inaugurated the former Mrs. Mick Jagger's "Arts for Human Rights," a new fundraising venture for her foundation. Chief Almir Narayamoga Surui, the leader of the Clan of the Suruí People of Rondônia in Brazil, was awarded the "Award for Leadership" for the passionate defense of his people's land in the Amazon. Neither Ai Weiwei nor Chief Almir Narayamoga Surui were in attendance, although Chief Almir was linked to the star-studded dining room via a webcam.
With Swarovski as the main sponsor, the dinner was bound to be sparkling — and the guest list didn't disappoint either. Star artists and designers Tracey Emin, Marc Quinn, Ron Arad, Zaha Hadid, and Raqib Shaw were all present, as well as Nadja Swarovski, Jade Jagger and Vivienne Westwood. Simon de Pury led the auction, which raised £721,000 ($1,139,067.34) — a respectable amount, but still far from the $2 million target. It looks like even millionaire philanthropists are feeling the pinch.
