Gallery Note: this historically relevant collage cements Nikki Haskell's status as an enduring American icon who successfully navigated the worlds of global business and high-level politics. The visual anchor—a playful montage of Nikki perched on a jar of her revolutionary StarCaps dietary supplement—celebrates her era as a powerhouse wellness entrepreneur. What makes this specific assemblage so compelling to historians and collectors is its incredible political and social scope. Pinned across the canvas are real pieces of modern history: a vintage Carter-Mondale campaign button, an intimate photo with Hillary Clinton, and an official Trump-Vance 2024 campaign pass. Framed by the literal keys and matchbooks to the restaurants where the decade's biggest deals were made—like Le Cirque and Cipriani—this 1/1 masterpiece turns personal ephemera into a dazzling, museum-tier time capsule of modern American celebrity culture spanning from the Carter administration to the present day.
