ART RESTORER FOR KAWS, by Reader on Nov 26, 2018 19:30:36 GMT 1, This is almost too painful to look at, but asking for a friend. How to approach restoring this? Presume that Kaws and his representatives don't want to know. So other options ?

I hope it's insured. If so, make a claim and buy a new one.

ART RESTORER FOR KAWS, by moron on Nov 27, 2018 12:36:13 GMT 1, It's an easy restore to make an invisible restoration.
Depending if one has the broken pieces or not does not make a lot of difference.
The vinyl looks like it is pigmented black rather than sprayed black after?
Looking at the photos the original vinyl cast looks very bad quality being very thin in some parts and thick in others.
Ceramic restorers today use all sorts of new materials to make invisible repairs. You could try asking one of those people and maybe they know someone who knows about vinyl.

Perhaps since it was a unique canvas versus an editioned companion might make a difference but wouldnโt hurt to try.

My 4ft is neither black nor dissected, but it does not have a seem on the crossbones like this one does. Is that from the fall, or is this one a boot?
