DANIEL JOSEPH MARTINEZ - A LITTLE LIBERTY

This 18-karat gold glazed ceramic sculpture by Los Angeles contemporary artist Daniel Joseph Martinez transforms the American concept of the idealized commemorative object which is fetishized and mass produced into a slightly disfigured symbol of consumerism and materialism. Fabricated by Ceramic Suro in Guadalajara, Mexico, this piece includes the original authentication certificate signed and dated by the artist Martinez himself.
