About the Item

"Double Entendre (TwoFaceNote)" Satirical Currency Collage Elaborate collage by Mickey "Kano" Kane (American, 20th century). This piece is a satirical mixed media artwork that mimics a U.S. banknote to critique capitalism, identity, and the commodification of culture. At its center, mirrored and distorted figures reflect themes of duplicity and mass reproduction, framed by ornate currency motifs and surrounded by repeating "B" seals. Bold text—“DOUBLE ENTENDRE (TWOFACENOTE)”—highlights the dual meaning and artificial value in both art and money. A grayscale figure at the bottom, connected by crimson ribbons, adds emotional weight and underscores the human cost beneath systems of power. The piece cleverly blurs the line between economic authority and artistic commentary. Dated "1993" in the lower left corner. Signed "Kano" in the lower right corner. Presented in a new warm beige mat. Mat size: 20"H x 28"W Paper size: 13.75"H x 21"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.

By Konstantin Bokov
Located in Surfside, FL
Born in 1940 in Shostka, Ukraine, Konstantin Bokov immigrated to New York City in 1974.Born the son of Viktor Bokov, the well known poet who perished in the Soviet gulag, Konstantin Bokov was an accordion player and sheep-herderbefore he became a self-taught artist and expelled dissident. When he appeared at the Morin-Miller Gallery in 1978 bearing a painting of a Tropicana juice carton, Carmen Morin brought it home. Jack Miller remembers his reaction: "We don't buy art, we sell it!" --- then their personal collection of Bokov's work grew to over a hundred pieces. Many paintings, sketches, collages and recycle assemblages were done, It's been said that Bokov’s canvases and recycled pieces offer an image of New York that is both a scathing critique and profession of love. This is especially evident in his pieces "Manhattan Madness (Road Repair)" and his Statue of Liberty series...

Mixed Media Outsider Visionary Art Polaroid Photo Collage Painting 2 sided
By Tom Carapic
Located in Surfside, FL
This one includes Albert Einstein amongst other drawing. Tom Carapic (born 1939), full name Tomislav Sava Čarapić, is an artist who specialises in found object artwork. He also does street art. A prominent Outsider Artist he was a featured artist in the American Visionary Art Museum's End is Near Exhibit. His work was also featured in the exhibition catalog. His work has been sold at Slotin Folk Art. Carapic was born in Velisevac, Serbia (then Kingdom of Yugoslavia). He was educated at a military school in Herzegovina in the 1950s, and served as a sergeant in the Yugoslav People's Army. Afterwards he was denied a college education, possibly because he was not a member of the Communist Party, illegally crossed into Italy in 1961, and, from there, emigrated to the United States. In 1965, he began attending classes at the New York Art Students League, but dropped out soon afterwards, eventually attending the Wilfred Academy of Beauty Culture. He was unable, however, to find steady beauty parlor employment, and worked in menial labor while attending classes in Spanish Education at Manhattan Community College. Due to a problem with accreditation, he was forced to switch to classes in the field of studio art. There he experienced hallucinatory visions that explained his repeated failures to obtain a degree. In the late 1970s, Carapic began experiencing more hallucinatory visions; claiming that his degree problems were caused when "the evil marriage bureau massed the troops" against his college and proceeded with "an Air force bombardment" of the school. After receiving other visitations, he began making and showing his art. Most of his art is centered on found objects, most famously computer keyboards, especially those by IBM. Most of his art consists of these objects, marked with black Sharpie markers, and with green thumbprints and handprints along the objects. His most famous exhibit in New York City is "Big Bang Theory," a doomsday warnings painted on computer keyboards and shoes and construction debris. Bears similarity to the Art Brut movement made famous by Jean Dubuffet. He was inluded in The End is Near! an exhibit which included an unprecedented group of noted thinkers, from His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Stephen Jay Gould to Reverend Howard Finster and Apocalypse culture expert ,Adam Parfrey, visionary artists brought together by curator, Roger Manley, for an amazing exhibition at the American Visionary Art Museum, the world’s largest ever mounted on the subjects of Apocalypse, Millennium, and Utopia. The End is Near! featuredwork from the following visionary artists amongst others: William Adkins Z.B. Armstrong Bill Bruley Frank Bruno Harry Leroy Brunson Tom Carapic Pierre Carbonel Howard Finster Tim Fowler Mary Mac Franklin Victor Joseph Gatto Robert Gie Patrick Gimel Hugo Hempel Oskar Herzberg Vojislav Jakic Norbert Kox Charles Keeling Lassiter...
