  • Bar Mitzvah Boy
Bar Mitzvah Boy ‘Bar Mitzvah Boy’s not-so-subtle defacing is typically biting for Kottler, the artist often known for collecting and decorating a collection of mass-produced and commercial ceramic with decals, prizing anything that could be worked into to convey a new socially subversive message. Here the simple addition of a Star of David refigures the commemorative plate of a Pope as of Jewish origin — comparatively aligning the two religions similarities and dismissing notions of the sacred, tongue firmly wedged in cheek. Provenance: Purchased directly from the Artist https://hieronymusobjects.com/images/thumbs/0018173_bar-mitzvah-boy.jpeg
