黑料不打烊

Since his groundbreaking solo show at the High Museum of Art in 2012, acclaimed artist KAWS has taken the world by storm with major exhibitions across the United States, Europe, Australia, Asia and the Middle East. Meanwhile, his monumental sculptural installations, augmented reality sculptures, design collaborations, toys, editioned objects and related works have seized the attention of a massive and diverse audience. Drawing exclusively from the High鈥檚 collection, KAWS PRINTS鈥� features all the artist鈥檚 editioned silkscreen prints in the Museum鈥檚 collection along with a selection of drawings, color charts, and rare early prints from the artist鈥檚 studio.

KAWS made his first screenprints in the late 1990s and has since continued to maintain a printmaking practice alongside his production of paintings, sculpture and editioned objects (both real and virtual). Through the syntax of silkscreen printing established by such preeminent and illustrious forebears as Keith Haring, Roy Lichtenstein, and Andy Warhol, which obscured distinctions between high and low, KAWS brings into conflict and accord the worlds of fine art, industrial design, technology, and popular culture. KAWS PRINTS is the first comprehensive exhibition featuring KAWS鈥檚 entire output of editioned prints spanning more than twenty years.
