Man's Best Friend (Plate #5), 2016
Man's Best Friend, 2016 by KAWS is a portfolio of ten black and white images, each offering a different perspective on the Peanuts character. This particular plate demonstrates KAWS' masterful balance between respecting the original character while transforming it through his distinctive visual language, characterized by bold lines and his signature "X" motif.
KAWS (Brian Donnelly, b. 1974) has established himself as one of the most influential contemporary artists, successfully bridging the worlds of fine art, street culture, fashion, and design. His work resonates with both serious art collectors and broader audiences, reflecting his belief in the accessibility of art.
This print comes from a limited edition of 100 with 20 artist's proofs and has been meticulously preserved in its original condition. It has never been framed and has been stored flat in a climate-controlled facility since its purchase from Pace Prints.
