The art of Ai Weiwei
But Ai Wei Wei's artistic development really began when he came to the U.S. in 1983 on a fellowship, and stayed 10 years.
"It was the people he met in New York City -- the Allen Ginsburgs, the Robert Rauchenbergs -- that opened his mind," said Kerry Brougher, chief curator of the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington.
