{"product_id":"9780867198089","title":"The World's Best Loved Art Treasures","description":"Click Mort takes mundane ceramic figures and transforms them into new visions. His unique recombinations require extensive cutting, sculpting, sanding, and painting to create pop-culture 'chimeras.' \u003cp\u003eThe result is kitsch resurrected in a still vaguely familiar but somewhat less cozy form. Click's recapitated figures have found their way into several of the premiere collections of post-pop art via exhibitions in Pasadena, Los Angeles and Waxahachie, Texas\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClick's exquisite work has attracted a healthy and ever growing group of collectors who recognize the skill and vision used to create this 'pop-sculpture.' \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClick's exquisite alterations of antique Rockwell, Hummel, and other miniature gift statuettes require a jeweler's precision. On top of this, he has had a lifetime fascination for oddity, which is as much an asset as his meticulous craftsmanship. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike his contemporary Ron English, Click Mort's unique methodology is a prime example of art that transcends its origins, elevating kitsch and improving the source pieces, which are works of art in themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe term surrealism is often recklessly misapplied in the current post-pop contemporary art market, but Click's pieces are truly of the essence that originally defined the movement in the early twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Last Gasp of San Francisco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47018738122992,"sku":"9780867198089","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780867198089_p0.jpg?v=1763835347","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780867198089","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
