Seattle artist Bliss Kolb gets 100 commission requests after Kelly Clarkson bird dispute

Artist Bliss Kolb has received about 100 commission requests since Oct. 10, when Kelly Clarkson visited Brooklyn's Art of Play and was told his handmade singing wooden bird, priced at $15,000, was not for sale. Clarkson publicly accused the store of assuming she couldn't afford it, while the store said the piece simply wasn't on the market. Kolb's pieces typically range from $4,000 to $15,000, and the store has since listed the original bird for $15 million.

Kelly Clarkson and Brooklyn shop Art of Play clash over $15,000 bird automaton

Kelly Clarkson publicly accused Brooklyn curiosity shop Art of Play of treating her as if she couldn't afford a $15,000 singing bird automaton, saying staff offered her a 'comparable' item instead. Art of Play disputes her account, saying the bird named Molly is a fixed mascot, that it offered her an identical model for $15,000 plus a $2,000 alternative, and that her visit lasted about five minutes. Clarkson has rejected the shop's version, calling it 'rude' and a 'liar' and sharing a photo of the item's price tag.
