Ron English x K. Olin Tribu – Mc Supersized in Porcelain (3.30)

 

Mc03

French brand K. Olin Tribu  is about to drop a porcelain version of Ron English’s Mc Supersized. Standing 22 cm high (~ 8.6”), the blinged out figure is crafted from Limoges porcelain, limited to 150 pcs, and will be available for 400 euros {~ $564, shipping included]. Mc Supersized in porcelain drops on  Wednesday, March 30th 2011 @ Noon PDT from artandtoys.com.

In art, the medium matters.  Mc Supersized seems to gain a new power and level of irony in porcelain –- the celebration is really a condemnation executed with all the weight of high society.
