Wright said each artist reimagines and repurposes the buttons to make art . “What I tried to do with this show,” he said , “ was to look at artists who were promoting that level of craft.”

　　He said he wanted the button art to be comparable to a painting “because of the amount of detail and precision in the work”.

　　Artist Beau McCall produced “A Harlem Hangover”. It looks like a wine bottle that fell over on a table . A stream of connected red buttons hang over the side, like wine flowing down . Similar red buttons form a small pool on the floor .

　　McCall layers buttons of different shapes and sizes to create the bottle. The stitching that holds them together is also part of the artistic design.

　　For San Francisco-based artist Lisa Kokin , buttons are highly personal . After her father died in 2001, she created a portrait of him using only buttons. That memorial to her father led to other button portraits , including those of activists Rosa Parks and Cesar Chavez .

　　Others use buttons for details. Artist Amalia Amaki of Tuscaloosa , Alabama , placed them on and around old photographs. Los Angeles artist Camilla Taylor attached buttons to three large sculptures that look like headless animals with long , narrow legs.

　　“The Button Show” ends at March 12. The Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation paid for the exhibition. The foundation was created in 1995 by the Simmons brothers: artist Danny , hip-hop producer Russell and rapper Rev﹒Run. The foundation seeks to bring the artists to urban youth and to provide support for new artists .
