sixsense nicely put. i agree with basically everything you said.
One other thing that I was thinking about...
with most other artists, their path from the bottom of the art world is a very slow and gradual upwards curve.
with kaws i feel like he had about a 10 year period where his stock only went up a little bit, and then in the past 3 years has basically shot straight up like a rocket.

Black Sponge Bob
and
Paper Smile
each priced at $4k USD. That's almost free in GBP!
Cheaper than 1/10th of the new set and IMHO way nicer. Who wants to own 1/10 of a piece of art anyway? KAWS prints are amazing. If you can afford a set go for it but buying part of a set seems a bit strange to me. king of like buying individual puzzle pieces.
Shoot me a PM if interested. I am firm on the price because I think it is a bargain and I'm pretty sure KAWS will not see prints under $4k again. Once sold I don't think I'll ever be able to replace them.

Its not hard to understand, KAWS was representing by some "commercial galleries" (e.g Galerie Perrotin, kaikaikiki) in the past 3 years, and when did Christies and Sothebys start selling KAWS? only this past 3 years, too. so, as a member here mentioned, don't hate the player, hate the game. |

I'm not talking about it in relation to prices, because I know the dude is a legend and all and obviously people are willing to pay top dollar for his pieces, but the work itself. I just see paintings that look liked zoomed in images from a cartoon. What am I missing?
Question for fans: What about these images do you like so much? What makes you think he's a top-tier artist? What would you say or show to a non believer like myself to turn me on to his work?

I don't think you can judge an artist on a particular piece, or set of pieces even, and say "what's so good about them?".
It's like taking just Banksy prints and saying, "they're OK, but a bit like newspaper cartoons, what's the big deal!?".
He has a history and reason for painting characters like the Companion and SpongeBob, and that's it.

I'm not judging his work on these prints alone. I really just don't "get" his work. Everyone's opinion is different and valid, I'm just curious to hear what about his work appeals to his fans

Well, you said you understood his legacy in the world of street art, and I think that's the appeal to some people.
Of course, aesthetically, particular work might not appeal to all.

You don't get his 93 street graff ? you don't get his bus stop ads ?

There was an interesting thread about a year ago on this very subject with a decent debate if i remember correctly.. |

Kaws • No Reply • 10 Print Set, by Deleted on Mar 22, 2015 0:55:54 GMT 1, His graffiti was mediocre at best but I really liked the busstops. The toys were what got me in to collecting really. The Chums and Companions I dig very much and are very iconic characters. That's all I have left of him, a white Chum and a black '99 Companion. There was a lot more over the years though, never lost any money on that I can tell you. After that he went on this whole cartoon character craze with his toys, Tweety, Snoopy. I didn't really care for them. He started painting Spongebob, which I hate. Kinda moved away from toys around that time anyways. I really like some of the newer works, yes they are still cartoon characters but now more abstract and in vibrant colors. I wouldn't mind it on the wall but by now that ship has sailed.

I love the absurdist humor of SpongeBob, so I really wanted to like Kaws' take, but it just didn't click with me. I don't see it adding anything to the already great image of SBSP |

What's the likely ballpark price on this? Love this print. I'm guessing it's going to be $5k. 'Presenting the Past' was $3.5k, last year. |
