Well that’s refreshing! Thanks for reading my reply and having an open-mind about it! I get that contemporary is not for everyone, but I think most people can be surprised if they just gave it a chance. Lot’s of great (and bad, of course) artists out there. Glad you look at Ai Weiwei’s work. If you get past first impressions and look behind the surface, you’ll see that he never does anything without a reason. Sunflower is an interesting example: it’s not a painting but 100 million (!) porcelain sunflower seeds scattered on the musuem’s floor. Each hand painted if you can believe that. Sunflower seeds are a important symbol in China, and Weiwei is a fierce critic of China’s political regime (pretty much all of his works are about it, he actually went to jail for it). I’ll let you make what you want of this but I think there’s more then meets the eye to this specific work. Cheers
