One of a kind Chess Set Art Piece, handmade in the USA.
Unfortunately the board and pieces are not standard regulation sized, but they're definitely large enough to play a recreational game with ease.
Asking One Million Dollars OBO
The theme for this political art piece is "Capitalism Chess." I think the symbolism in it will be very striking to anyone who has interest in playing chess and human rights regarding labor.
I made the pawns interchangeable, blue collars vs white collars. With all the royalty cast in gold against silver. You can only tell the knights apart by their collars too, it was a nod to identity politics playing a part in class warfare. And the kicker is that the board has wrist cuffs and short chains on it to remind the people playing that before there were unions, you didn't get bathroom breaks.
The game must be played with the
uncuffed hand. Which is a nod to Adam Smith's economic theory of the "invisible hand." Underneath I put two red hearts pierced by the rings holding the chains, to represent the laborers we don't often think about in prisons and over seas.
