Around 2010, the Steve Brown Gallery released a series of Artist Edition Yo-Yo; one-piece, maple wood yo-yos made by Yo-Yo Factory. One side of each model was laser-engraved with artwork by the respective artist.
The yo-yo featured in this exhibit is Artist Edition Yo-Yo #3 by Ohio-based artist and sculptor Chris Ryniak. The yo-yo was supposedly limited to 45 pieces. Yo-yo was originally release May 13, 2010.
Original retail price: $15 US
From the www.stevebrowngallerycom website:
"The third in an on-going series of Artist Edition Yo-Yos, this hard-wood yo-yo features original artwork by Ohio artist, Chris Ryniak.
The unadorned yo-yos themselves are a work of art. Made in the United States and turned from a single piece of Hard Rock Maple, they are made in the traditional fashion of yo-yos from the 1920s. While most modern yo-yos are made of high-impact plastic or aircraft-grade aluminum, these wooden yo-yos are meant to evoke a simpler time in American history. The yo-yo is the second-oldest toy in the world and still one of the most popular; it's with this heritage in mind that these wooden yo-yos were chosen.
This Artist Edition Yo-Yo will be limited to 45 pieces worldwide, and will never be manufacturerd again. One side is laser-engraved with original art by the selected artist, while the other side is engraved with the artist’s signature and the Steve Brown Gallery logo.
The goal of this series is to provide you with a work of art that is meant to be part of your everyday life. It is our hope that this yo-yo provides you with simple pleasure for years to come.
Yo-yos manufactured and engraved by Arizona-based YoYo Factory."
