Large 'Little Friend' talking toy by Mike Kelley (1954-2012). Provenance: Gagosian Gallery, New York | Private Collection, Florida. 'Best known for his soft sculpture, especially worn and dirty soiled stuffed animals in sexual positions in cold, clinical settings, Mike Kelley has been a major figure in contemporary American art in the later half of the 20th century... In the 1980s, his stuffed animal pieces began to get much attention. His work has been exhibited at Whitney Biennials, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Hirshorn Museum in Washington D. C. , and in 1993, a full-scale exhibition of his work was shown at the Whitney Museum. From that time, he has pursued what he calls 'projects,' a cluster of concepts that he works on intermittently including a reconstruction of Mark Rothko's 'Chapel, and an installation mounted beneath the Brooklyn Bridge.
