The 2023 Eyeball Project: Preserving the Classics of Art - A Fusion with the 1952 Mickey Mantle Baseball Card
In the eyes of the public, Mona Lisa is widely recognized as a classic, just as the 1952 TOPPS MICKEY MANTLE #311 holds a legendary status in the world of collectible cards. Following previous initiatives such as the 2013 "小巴廊 X Artist Collaboration Exhibition" and the 2014 "Barter for a Gift - Exchange Project", 2023 ushers in the "Eyeball Project", which fuses African tribal art with iconic works across various fields. This unique collaboration connects different cultures and art forms to offer an immersive experience.
African tribal art represents a rich tradition, reflecting the depth and diversity of African culture. The pieces on display reveal the uniqueness and artistic expression of African heritage. When paired with classic works from other cultural domains, a captivating dialogue unfolds, inviting viewers to reflect on the connections between different cultures and art forms. Through these pieces, we gain deeper insight into the diverse layers of art—offering both art enthusiasts and those curious about different cultures a unique and enriching experience.
The inaugural exhibition introduces the classic 1952 TOPPS #311 Mickey Mantle baseball card into this new project.
In modern culture, both art and sports are respected as unique fields. When these worlds intersect, they create an undeniable and distinctive charm. Mickey Mantle (1931-1995), a legend of the New York Yankees, became a symbol of passion, effort, and achievement. The 1952 Mickey Mantle card is a treasure in the baseball collectible world, representing infinite value and memories cherished by baseball fans.
This particular card—often referred to as the "Bearded Mantle"—holds a special place due to its unique appearance, which shows faint traces of a beard. There are only around 1,800 copies of this card in circulation, and in 2022, one graded at 9.5 by SCG sold for a record $12.6 million. The curiosity surrounding this "Bearded Mantle" card continues to captivate collectors.
Imperfections often carry stories and emotional depth. What may seem like wear and tear embodies memories, experiences, and history. These flaws create a warmth and closeness that resonate with people, offering a new perspective of appreciation. The Bearded Mantle card, with its imperfections, is a perfect example of beauty beyond traditional standards, constantly drawing attention and fascination.
In parallel, African tribal art is a unique and influential part of world art history, rich with culture, beliefs, and symbolism. Male beard sculptures in African tribal cultures carry significant meaning, symbolizing strength, wisdom, and social status. This exhibition fuses two seemingly unrelated elements—the "Bearded Mantle" and African tribal beard sculptures—through an innovative artistic experiment.
The Eyeball Project is not only a tribute to art and sports but also a cross-disciplinary fusion, challenging the traditional boundaries between these realms. Through this unique blend, we explore the possibilities between different fields, pushing the limits of creativity and imagination. The connection between the 1952 Bearded Mantle and African beard sculptures sparks limitless creativity and aesthetic beauty.
Join us in this artistic journey where we merge the classic with the innovative. Experience the fascinating intersection of the 1952 Bearded Mantle baseball card and African tribal art, and let the Eyeball Project lead you beyond the boundaries of art and into a realm of infinite possibilities!
