She made history in 2012 when she was the first modern artist to have a solo show in the National Museum of China. In 2014, she had another ground-breaking show at the China Art Museum. Ai Jing's involvement in international shows, including the "Echo of Civilization" in Beijing and the "Metamorphosis" in Belgium, enhanced her standing as a remarkable modern artist.
