A dragon, left, snake and horse make up a portion of artist Ai Weiwei’s latest work, “Circle of Animals / Zodiac Heads,” at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. “Circle of Animals / Zodiac Heads” is a group of 10-foot-tall bronze animal heads similar to a series of sculptures that once encircled a fountain in Beijing’s Old Summer Palace. The works will be on view through February. (Genaro Molina/Los Angeles Times)
