Artist Michael Kalish has released a new limited edition tabletop version of an interactive sculpture he previously created. In his “The Art of Finding Love” the word LOVE is crafted in 3 dimensions in either Poplar Wood or Gold Metal and functions as both a vase and a candle holder, depending upon whether you place it vertically or horizontally on a surface.
Michael Kalish LOVE Interactive Sculpture
The 42-year-old-artist, known for his massive public art installations paying tribute to icons such as Muhammed Ali and Elvis Presley, is no stranger to the art scene. Embraced by critics, dealers, and an impressive list of contemporary art collectors, Kalish’s original roses, abstracts and limited edition dimensional works, as well as his legendary license plate sculpture, are featured in the collections of world leaders, fortune 100 companies, past presidents, professional athletes and musicians.
The original interactive sculpture in its full size:
But it is his own journey – both professionally and personally – which has led him to what he says, is the most meaningful work his career, creating THE ART OF FINDING LOVE.
The renowned artist will unveil his tabletop version of THE ART OF FINDING LOVE – at The Grove in Los Angeles today, fittingly, one week before Valentine’s Day.
