Description
Edward Kay (Detroit, MI 1900-1988). Double-sided hanging carving with three-dimensional elements. Signed as shown. Edward Kay began to carve totem poles and other complex figures during Prohibition when he traded a fifth of whiskey for some woodworking tools. Until 1977, when he moved into an apartment, many of his more than 100 totems stood outside his home in Michigan. Political parody was a favorite subject for Kay. To provide background for his political works, Kay frequently produced freestanding collages using photographs, clippings, and texts. Exhibited at the Smithsonian.
