About the Item

Andy Warhol Muhammad Ali Vinyl Figures: Set of two (400% & 100%): A unique, timeless Andy Warhol Muhammad Ali collectible trademarked & licensed by the Estate of Andy Warhol. The partnered collectible reveals Warhol‘s iconic Muhammad Ali imagery wrapping the figure in its entirety. Housed in a standout Warhol Ali collectors' box. Medium: Vinyl Figures. Set of 2 works. Dimensions of the larger piece: 11 x 5 inches. Condition: New in its original packaging. Warhol foundation trademark featured on the base of foot & box. Published by Medicom from a limited series of unknown. Further Background: BE@RBRICKs are a form of collectible toy that resembles a cross between LEGO and well, a bear. These block-style figurines boast teddy bear-style heads that have become an integral pillar of the collectible toy scene. In fact, it wouldn’t be so far-fetched to say that it almost single-handedly carved out the fad of toy collecting in modern times, treading the very fine line between toy and art. Since its inception, BE@RBRICKs have become one of the most recognizable characters in the world, and some of the most sought after. “Warhol photographed the boxer, Muhammad Ali, in 1977 as part of his 'Athletes' series. The project was initiated by the art collector and sports enthusiast, Richard Weisman, and featured the likes of the footballer, Pelé, and golfer, Jack Nicklaus. At first Warhol was unfamiliar with the sports stars but characteristic of his obsession with fame, he recalled: “I really got to love the athletes because they are the really big stars”. Ali was not an easy subject but Warhol managed to capture a powerful shot with the boxer’s fists poised, ready to punch… Ali’s fixed stare mimics the concentration required during a fight.” (Tate UK) Obsessed with celebrity, consumer culture, and mechanical reproduction, Pop Art king, Andy Warhol created some of the 20th century’s most iconic images. Warhol was widely influenced by popular & consumer culture, with this being evident in some of his most famous works: 32 Campbell's soup cans, Brillo pad box sculptures, and portraits of Marilyn Monroe & Mick Jagger, for example. Rejecting the standard painting and sculpting modes of his era, Warhol embraced silk-screen printmaking to achieve his characteristic hard edges and flat areas of color. The artist mentored Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat and continues to influence contemporary art around the world: His most bold successors include Richard Prince, Takashi Murakami, and Jeff Koons. Warhol has been the subject of exhibitions at the Whitney Museum of American Art, Museum of Modern Art, Tate Modern, and Centre Pompidou, among other institutions. Related Categories Andy Warhol.

New in its original packaging. Medium: Vinyl Year: 2018 Dimensions of figurine: 8.25 x 1.5 inches (can also be displayed in package, which measures 11 inches in height). Unopened; excellent condition From a sold out un-numbered edition More on KAWS Holiday Companion Seokchon Lake, which is located in the South Korean capital's Songpa district, previously hosted the world-famous inflatable "Rubber Duck" on a tour of its waters in 2014. "I just wanted to do a water piece," said KAWS, "I was just thinking about being on vacation, and when you just drift in a pool and stare upwards, and that's really the beginning of the work. I feel like, in these times, we need things to help us relax." (source: CNN) KAWS is a fine artist, illustrator, painter, sculptor, product designer, and toymaker. His cartoonish style—including his best-known characters with X-ed out eyes—has its roots in his early career as a street artist, when he began replacing advertisements with his own, masterful acrylic paintings in the early 1990s.
