Description: This is a Vintage BUSINESS CARD from TIKI OBJECTS BY BOSKO with Tiki Carvings in Authentic Style His estate notwithstanding, Bosko is most famous for his work as a Tiki artist. He is one of the small handful of people chiefly responsible for the revival of what his friend, writer Sven Kirsten, has dubbed “Polynesian Pop” — midcentury America’s creative reimagining of island leisure paradises. Legions of bars, restaurants, hotels, bowling alleys, and apartment buildings were created in the style during its heyday, only to disappear swiftly after the aesthetic tide turned. Bosko spent his earliest years in LA’s San Gabriel Valley; the time there put him on intimate terms with some of the ruins of the region’s Tiki dream world. And it left a permanent impression that he has been drawing from ever since. His signature contribution to the Tiki revival has been twofold: he was the first artist in decades to carve wooden Tiki figures, and also to make the elaborate ceramic mugs that are meant to hold tropical cocktails. He saw the latter as an overlooked art form all its own. More privately, he created his own home Tiki bar, the extremely cool Kapu Tiki Room, which stands in his yard— “a museum, an homage to the first movement.” Card is in VINTAGE GOOD condition - please see pics Card is 2 x 3 1/2.
