Michael has generously offered what can only be called a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to bid on a Michael Kalish original portrait of yourself.Kalish, who has captured the likes of Muhammad Ali, Michael Phelps, Dak Prescott, Jim Brown, The Reagans, and Lady Gaga to name a few, will take a photo of you, your family, or your children to create a one of kind portrait made exclusively out of his signature medium of License Plates. Kalish will procure license plates from meaningful States to create a personalized Wall Sculpture. His portraits are featured in Galleries around the Globe and start at $35K. When Michael Kalish combined pop culture and Americana with the object of his fascination, the heretofore “lowly license plate” was elevated from the junkyard to the museum, from garages and highways to the living room wall. In the process, he became the artist responsible for creating a new genre, winning international acclaim, and setting his expectations-defying career into motion. Out of the utilitarian and overlooked, Kalish fashions works of steely confidence, proudly displaying their wear, patina and rust as a tribute to that which endures. His license plate works include homages to America itself. His unique position as a preeminent arbiter of style and taste has led to features in People Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, NY Times, Details, Wired, ArtNews and the feature of stories on CBS Sunday Morning, CNN, E! MSN, TLC, and most recently the host of Discovery Channel’s- “Final Offer”.
