From a sold-out edition of unknown size.

Complete set of 3 KAWS SHARE figurative sculptures. KAWS SHARE first appeared in BLACKOUT — the first London solo exhibition by KAWS (Skarstedt London 2019). In SHARE, KAWS uses two of his characters to convey opposing human attitudes, whereby the Companion is secure and looks outward, holding but not attached to the toy in its hand. Of recent note, KAWS SHARE was open to public display in New York's famed Rockefeller Center (in August 2021).

A leading artist of his generation, Brooklyn-based KAWS engages audiences beyond the museums and galleries in which he regularly exhibits. KAWS is perhaps best known for his iconic character, Companion, which is featured in key paintings, sculptures, products and toy figures. KAWS’ art possesses a sophisticated humor and thoughtful critique of consumer products. His bold, high-minded graphic language revitalizes figuration with big, bold gestures and keen, playful intricacy. KAWS’ figures, here as ever, more poignantly reveal to us the human condition in the contemporary world, while also exploring an alternative way of being.
