KAWS Art: Curated Prints, Editions, Toys, & Sculptures

"My first interest in graffitti came when I was in grammar school, around '87 or '88 I was about twelve years old. I didn't know much about writing, I just knew that I liked to write my name everywhere I could in my neighborhood."

American, b. 1974

KAWS (Brian Donnelly) has emerged as one of the most influential contemporary artists, blending street art with fine art and pop culture. Beginning his career in the 1990s as a graffiti artist, KAWS quickly gained international recognition for his bold reimagining of familiar characters like Mickey Mouse and Snoopy, transforming them into his signature figures such as "Companion" and "BFF."

KAWS’ ability to merge the commercial and the conceptual has positioned him at the forefront of the contemporary art scene. His works span a variety of mediums, including large-scale sculptures, paintings, and prints, each imbued with his playful, yet deeply reflective, exploration of consumerism, isolation, and identity. Limited-edition prints and collectible sculptures, often released in small batches, are highly sought after by collectors, consistently appreciating in value on the secondary market.
