FELIX VON ALTERSHIEM. SCROOGE McDUCK. LOVES DOLLAR NOTE. NEO-POP ART

FELIX VON ALTERSHIEM. SCROOGE McDUCK. LOVES DOLLAR NOTE. NEO-POP ART

A vibrant and ironic work by the contemporary German multimedia artist Felix von Altersheim, executed in the aesthetic of Neo-Pop Art. The composition is centered around the iconic figure of Scrooge McDuck, rendered in an expressive manner infused with elements of street art and graffiti culture. The character is surrounded by a multilayered collage of dollar banknotes, neon $ symbols, splashes of paint and fragments of mass media imagery, forming a dynamic visual field in which the symbolism of wealth and consumerism transforms into a bold artistic manifesto.The contrast of intense acid tones - pink, lime green, yellow and electric blue - enhances the decorative power of the composition. The use of Dagobert Duck as an allegory of financial obsession and the cult of capitalism lends the work the character of a contemporary social commentary.The technique consists of a 12-color print on acrylic glass, providing remarkable depth of color and a luminous, high-gloss surface effect. The work is certified, signed, titled, dated 11.2020 and numbered 3650.Dimensions: 100 x 100 cm.Material: Print on acrylic glass.Condition: Excellent.

An exquisite Russian silver vase with a cut crystal bowl, produced at the factory of Ivan Khlebnikov in Moscow during the period 1908 - 1917.
