Chen Wei, together with two other young Chinese artists aaajiao and Hu Yun, are commissioned by Max Mara to produce works that reflect the ideas behind the coat 101801. The new works will be on view in a special presentation titled “Variations on An Icon”.
The iconic coat 101801 was created in 1981. The double-breasted coat in beaver wool and cashmere is considered a cult worldwide, and has been placed in many museums’ collections. This ongoing project brings its focus on the new Chinese cultures and artists dealing with the spirits of our time.
