Golden Age Wallpaper by Ai Weiwei

We're thrilled to offer this wonderful series of wallpapers by-the-roll from Serpentine Galleries, including designs by John Baldessari, Ai Weiwei, Rosemarie Trockel and Lawrence Weiner. Each roll is 27" wide x 118" (3 meters) long.

In Ai Weiwei's Study of Perspective series, the artist photographed his left arm extended forward with middle finger raised against authoritative landmarks. The decorative patterning in the artist's Finger wallpaper works to both conceal and reveal the offending gesture.

The specifications for the wallpaper are:

Finish: Washable
Backing: None
Maintenance: Clean with water-based cleanser
Traffic: Moderate - Suitable for heavy duty applications with the exception of high traffic corridors

The design for this wallpaper by Markus Linnenbrink is based on an original painting consisting of layers upon layers of resin drips that create a three-dimensional surface.

Kiki Smith’s Maiden & Moonflower wallpaper was created for the exhibition, “Kiki Smith: Her Home” at the Museum Haus Esters in Krefeld, Germany in 2008. It depicts an evening scene of a woman standing beneath a tree bough inhabited by night creatures and surrounded by stars in six saturated and mature colorways. Smith hand-traced the design into the acetate used for producing the screens which invoke a 14th-century German woodcut pattern upon printing.

Studio Printworks was founded in 2004 and exemplifies the cross-over of visual artists into the design world. We are pleased to feature The Great Contemporary Artists Collection which includes wallpapers by Kiki Smith, Rob Wynne, Michele Oka Doner, Mark Fox, and The Hilton Brothers.
