Description from the seller

AMA • Pope (1985) - "Aurora Contrefaçon Originale" - 11/30

When counterfeiting becomes an original work.

After the triumph of the Aurora Borealis series by AMA often copied and on the verge of being censored by luxury giants under the banner of "counterfeiting", the artist Pope hits even harder.

Here is "Aurora Contrefaçon Originale": an unapologetic pop art lamp, a wink at censorship and a luminous manifesto for freedom of creation.
A unique pop art lamp, where you can read in full letters "DO NOT BUY" and "COUNTERFEIT"... A reason to want to acquire it even more.

The day: a shiny chrome silver teddy bear.
The night: a multicolored aurora borealis that lights up your interior.
An ironic contrast, between prohibition and desire.

Limited edition of 30 copies for 2025, signed, numbered and delivered with AMA certificate of authenticity.
Fast and secure shipping (bubble wrap, tissue paper, reinforced carton) with a signature on delivery.

Specifications:
- 7 color lights
- 3 diffusion modes (steady, fading transitions, simple transitions)
- Power supply via USB cord with switch (supplied)
- Height: 20 cm
- Width: 9 cm
- Depth: 9 cm

Who is AMA?

Born from the fusion of the talents of French artist friends, the AMA collective takes you into its universe mixing vibrant colors and varied materials.
Sculptures, paintings and installations, the collective passionately uses a multitude of techniques to bring its works to life.

The AMA collective mainly draws inspiration from the world around it but also through currents of renowned artists such as Banksy, Keith Haring, Koons, Orlinski, Takashi, Fred Allart, Shepard Fairey, Warhol, Yayoi Kusama, Richard Hamilton, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Alec Monopoly, KAWS, Pantone, Mr. Brainwash, Blek le Rat, to name just a few.

Whether as a gift, a memento or your personal collection of contemporary art, you will easily find your favorite thanks to the diversity of our works. Indeed, AMA pursues its passion for urban art through street art and pop art creations (in limited edition or not), addressing a wide range of themes such as cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum), the dollar, money, gold, wealth, the sex industry, the harms of drugs, luxury brands and haute couture, the world of comics and video games, the pharmaceutical industry and medicines, recycling and upcycling, food industry and fashion products (sport, sneakers...).

Brands guide our choices and often our lives without us realizing it. Aware of this impact, AMA enjoys playfully subverting labels such as Louis Vuitton (LV), Chanel, Dior Hermès, Prada, Gucci, Rolex, Yves Saint Laurent (YSL), Supreme, Obey, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Bugatti, AMG, Mercedes, Nike (Air Jordan), Adidas (Stan Smith), Coca Cola, Pepsi, Marvel and Avengers (Batman, Joker, Superman...), Disney (Mickey, Scrooge McDuck...), Nintendo, Sega, Tintin, Lego, Pokemon, Vans and many others.

Dear bidders, our collective makes every effort to ensure that all information needed to assess the lot sold is clearly detailed in the listing: dimensions, weight, description and photos... After the sale, no unjustified claims will be entertained. Thank you for your understanding.
