The twelve monumental bronze sculptures from Ai Weiwei's Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads arrived at LACMA earlier this week. LACMA's art preparation and installation teams have been working hard to unpack and wake these sleeping giants--some of which weigh nearly a ton.
The dragon, snake, and horse stand tall next to the Resnick Pavilion, awaiting the arrival of their zodiac counterparts.
Ai Weiwei's Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads opens this Saturday at LACMA. A general admission ticket is not needed to see the work, so come by, take a picture in front of your zodiac sign, and enjoy the magnitude of these brilliant sculptures.
