Original Unopened Friendly Animal Plates | Mark Ryden, 2017
From the undisputed master of Lowbrow, Pop Surrealist artist Mark Ryden, this limited edition "Friendly Animal Plates" set was released by his own publishing company, Porterhouse Fine Art. This set, numbered out of 1,000, features six of his iconic animal characters from various past projects, including The Snow Yak Show; Blood, Sweat, and Tears; The Tree Show; Bunnies and Bees; and Galleries One–Three.
Ryden, who is usually known for his kitch-inspired imagery of eerie, Victorian era, porcelain-skinned figures with large eyes and their animal companions, chose to decorate this set with portraits of six of his favorite animal creations. Featuring Snow Yak, Pink Bunny, Sad Pig, Grey Animal, Medicine Bear, and Brown Bear originally released in 2017, the limited set immediately sold out, solidifying its status as a highly sought after item for collectors of Ryden's objects on the secondary market. This complete boxed set, available in the original packaging and unopened celophane, is a perfect entry point into the bizarre and beautiful universe of Mark Ryden.
