KAWS

This book is the definitive study of the work of KAWS, one of the most influential and beloved artists in contemporary art and culture. His influence extends far beyond the art world, reaching fashion, music, and popular culture at large. KAWS began his career as a graffiti artist in the 1990s and has since expanded his practice to include painting, sculpture, drawing, product design, and augmented reality, all of which contribute to his artistic vision.

KAWS has collaborated with numerous internationally renowned brands, including Uniqlo, Comme des Garçons, Supreme, Nike, Dior, sacai, and General Mills. This book features photographs of the artist's studio by Jason Schmidt, previously unreleased preparatory sketches by KAWS, and works spanning his entire career, from early graffiti to highly collectible vinyl toys, complex abstract paintings, and large-scale public sculptures.

Richly illustrated, this book contains the most important scholarly research on KAWS's work to date, and is an authoritative study of the life and career of this extraordinary artist.
