About the Item

This stunning sculpture standing at just over seven feet tall is on a swivel base. It is quite an engineering feat to create each sculpture. This sculpture can go indoors or outdoors as well. The title "The Art of Finding Love" is because you can look at all sides of this sculpture and it looks like a beautiful abstract sculpture until you get to one vantage point where LOVE comes into focus. Just like the art of finding Love in life. All sides and angles of this sculpture are surfaced with brushed gold panels and the swivel base is brushed gold as well Commission only, limited edition of 10, editions 2 - 10 available, 8-10 week lead time to create. Michael Kalish is an internationally acclaimed mixed-media artist based in Los Angeles. His passion for metal started with vintage car parts and license plates and evolved to more refined laser cut aluminum and mirrored stainless steel sculptures, with references to American culture. In his most daring and bold expression of the force of nature known as love, the renowned sculptor unveiled his own artistic sonnet in sculpture form – "THE ART OF FINDING LOVE", a 20 foot x 6 foot x 6 foot interactive sculpture in 2017. Kalish designed the contemporary large scale sculpture so that the viewer must find the exact vantage point where the sculpture is no longer abstract and "Love" literally comes into focus. Michael Kalish has completed many large-scale public installations for which he is well known, including “reALIze”, a large-scale multi-dimensional Muhammad Ali sculpture in downtown Los Angeles. The monument is larger than life, as is Ali’s legacy: an appropriate testament to the essence for the legend the world has come to know, simply, as “The Greatest.” The breath-taking effect is an enormous, 360-degree, two-story structure composed of five miles of stainless steel cables, two miles of aluminum tubing, and 1,300 boxing punching bags.
