...Michael Kalish

I love art. Good art and bad art, though I am not sure what is considered "bad" art, art is art. Artist Michael Kalish has created an amazing piece of art, if I say so myself. His work of art contains 1,300 punching bags, stands two stories high, fills up 15,00 cubic feet and includes 5 miles of stainless steel, 2 miles of aluminum tubing. All of this goes into creating an image. The image is of 3 time heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali. Ali's wife approached the artist 3 years ago after seeing his work of license plates. The meeting eventually lead to this wonderful creation. I am loving this. It is like having a statue, but better because it belongs on the inside and birds cannot poop on it. For those in the Los Angeles area on March 25th the official unveiling of the piece, along with other works from other artist, will be at the Nokia Plaza. I am going to give Michael a Digit Up for sure.
