About the Item
"Bridge Loan (Basketcase)" Satirical Bond Paperwork Collage
Elaborate collage by Mickey "Kano" Kane (American, 20th century). This composition is a surreal and satirical take on financial systems and emotional collapse, rendered in the style of a deconstructed bond certificate. The artwork frames an abstract void where value or meaning might once have existed, flanked by ornate, collage-like borders composed of coins, architectural motifs, and fragmented currencies. The words “BRIDGE LOAN” and “BASKETCASE” stretch ominously across the top and center, referencing both economic mechanisms and mental breakdown. A disembodied hand at the bottom, offering a stack of exaggerated zeros, underscores the absurdity of hollow wealth. Scattered black holes pierce through the design, visually representing loss, corruption, or erasure. Set against a soft gradient of pastel pinks and blues, the piece balances irony and despair, suggesting a collapsing system dressed in the regalia of legitimacy.
Signed "Kano" along right edge.
Presented in a new grey mat.
Mat size: 20"H x 28"W

Mickey Kane, better known as "Kano," is an artist and sculptor from Santa Cruz, CA. His collage work is generally satirical or critical in nature, frequently dealing with themes of money, capitalism, government, power, and debt. By contrast, his sculptural work is abstract and free of direct symbolism, focusing instead on the aesthetics of the composition.

Mickey “Kano” Kane (American, 1939-2002) was born in Illinois and grew up in Sacramento, CA. Kane moved to the Pacific Coast and worked on mixed media panels - which he would refer to as a “Totem” – and detailed collage compositions. His collage work is generally satirical or critical in nature, frequently dealing with themes of money, capitalism, government, power, and debt. By contrast, his “Totem” sculptural work is abstract and free of direct symbolism, focusing instead on the aesthetics of the composition. Original Member, Artist’s Cooperative Gallery Artist’s Statement: The Totem is indicative of the unfolding 21st Century, graphically and metaphorically. It is neither one side nor the other, nor does one side challenge or compete with the other. Each side cooperates and thus enhances the other so that both "sides" transcend that definition into a composition revealing that, indeed, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The Totem reflects the inner harmony that all sides, whether two or two thousand, are striving to manifest in their own inimitable way.
