About the Item
"Love Bond" Satirical Bond Paperwork Collage
Elaborate collage by Mickey "Kano" Kane (American, 20th century). Love Bond is a satirical, mixed-media artwork that mimics the structure of a financial bond certificate, replacing monetary value with the concept of unconditional love. Through a richly layered collage of classical nudes, surreal figures, and ornate scrollwork, the piece critiques the commodification of emotion and spirituality. With phrases like “God Trusts in Man” and “A Bond of Transitional Resolution,” it humorously subverts capitalist language, inviting viewers to reflect on the value systems we inherit and invest in. Part parody, part poetic manifesto, Love Bond transforms bureaucratic aesthetics into a symbolic contract of compassion and consciousness.
Signed and stamped "Kano" in the lower right corner.
Titled and dated "Love Bond 88" in the lower right corner.
Paper size: 21.5"H x 29"W
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.

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.

Emerson Cooper relentlessly collects vintage photographs and Victorian cabinet cards. He transforms them into meticulously constructed, psychologically charged artworks by using a mix of thread, paint, collage or digital manipulation. Small cut images and repetitive patterns such as lines, dots, numbers or letters, are omnipresent in his staged imagery to help transform a landscape or to hide a face. Used widely from the mid- 19th century after the invention of albumen prints by Louis Désiré Blanquart-Evrard, the cabinet card remains a familiar visual object. Contemporaneous to the use of cabinet cards were the psychoanalytical theories of Freud and the high point of public interest in freak shows...
