KAWS (American, 1974) PASSING THROUGH ( Brown ) - 2012 Vinyl figure Stamped under foot Height, 9 inches PROVENANCE KAWSONE With the ever growing popularity of "art toys," KAWS’ timely production of his figurines—beginning in 1990's—became almost instantly collectable among fans of the toys and art collectors alike. With a background in graphic design, the toys are both playful and contemplative, reminding collectors of the temporality of both the body and the nature of fun. He joins a formidable list of artists making these “toys,” including Takashi Murakami and Yoshitomo Nara. KAWS has exhibited his work around the world, with recent shows at Mary Boone Gallery, New York and Galerie Perrotin, New York and Paris; as well as a forthcoming survey exhibition at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Texas. $1,000-1,500 Categories: Kaws
