Chinese artist and political activist Ai Weiwei aims to raise his profile with three exhibitions in Beijing late next month. At one, in art veteran Jeffrey Deitch's new Hollywood gallery, works are priced at between $326,000 and $4.78m. The "museum scale" exhibition will include a reconstruction of Ai's 2013 sculpture "Stools", which comprises 5,929 wooden stools from the Ming and Qing dynasties. Some critics have questioned whether running three shows concurrently will amount to "overexposure". Related Article: Ai Weiwei's California studio razed by Chinese authorities
