Kaws โข MOCAD Print Edition, by coller on Apr 26, 2019 16:15:49 GMT 1, genuinely curious if other artists could get away with this s**t lol
dude is cutting up rejected prints and selling the fragments for thousands of dollars. i get that its for charity but still seems like a 'screw you' to fans.
he should just release an actual print edition for charity with a full image instead of selling scraps, its not like kaws doesn't have the money to make 'good' charity prints.

His work is already very abstract, so cutting them into smaller pieces doesn't effect the aesthetics or style imo. I'd rather have many of these than some of his previous prints like the giant tongue.
I'd also much rather have one of these over a 10k Pinocchio Toy that is unsigned and highly bootlegged.
I like to think that if basquiat, warhol, harring, ect had something like this I would still love to have it in my home and consider it a part of of history.
So I genuinely don't think as blue chip artist, something like these signed cut prints for 3500 is unreasonable or weird when his single prints are probably 30k+ now at cost.

and cut it up so it looked like this:
you would still buy it? that seems like what is happening with the MOCAD edition.
at that point it seems like the buyer is just buying the artist's signature. i barely even see a connection between the cut-out image and the artist's original work.
like this print, which bears almost no resemblance to kaws' work as an excerpted print:
no one would even be able to identify that as a kaws work absent a signature.
this is just getting nuts to me, but i'll enjoy the show.
and yes, as always, people are free to buy whatever art they like!

If something happened to Brian (God Forbid) I think the discussion regarding these pieces would be over.

Within the history that is the storyline of KAWS, cutting up his work into smaller pieces as highly desirable scraps will figure.
Maybe step back for a moment and think about what he is doing. Is he looking at rejected prints and saying letโs make a few bucks instead of throwing out? Or is he saying his art is as disposable as popular culture, which has been his thread from the early days.

But it is you referring to these as scraps or rejects. Do you really think everyone buying these is thinking they are buying a scrap or reject? How is what he is doing not a continuation of the work? Maybe he is doing a Burroughs-like take. How do we get to assume what he is thinking?

Kaws โข MOCAD Print Edition, by teabaggins on Apr 26, 2019 16:55:43 GMT 1, Should post here as well I guess for those that may want to give without getting.
Great opportunity to give back in a cool way if anyone is interested.
SPONSOR A CHILD for this event if you can.
For two fantastic, high energy weeks in the summer, artistically driven Detroit area middle school students interact with the work of KAWS, to design and create their own characters! KAWS is one of the most influential artists of his generation. Led by teaching artists experienced in illustration and product design, camp begins with youth touring and interpreting KAWSโ work on display at MOCAD. Drawing inspiration from these works, youth design characters based on themselves, utilizing basic illustration techniques.
Later, those illustrations come to life as youth translate their 2-D drawings into 3-D forms, using a variety of materials. Aside from working with positive teaching artists, campers will play games, enjoy outdoor activities, and make new friends during this exciting midsummer fun experience at MOCAD. Scholarships are available. All meals and snacks provided free of additional charge.

How do we get to assume what he is thinking?
to me this seems like an artist is selling off his garbage in piecemeal for charity, not 'reconceptualizing' or 'continuing' his work or whatever lol. this seems like a far cry from anything else kaws' has done, so i don't really understand the 'reconceptualization' argument - it seems like any abstract artist could say that but it would come off more like an excuse/rationalization rather than a real reason.
i'd also rather have a signed kaws poster than one of these.
but again. that's just, like, my opinion, man.

Do you really think everyone buying these is thinking they are buying a scrap or reject? How is what he is doing not a continuation of the work? Maybe he is doing a Burroughs-like take.

Yes, that is your opinion. It seems a rather closed opinion, imo. No room for nuance.

Kaws โข MOCAD Print Edition, by alk on Apr 26, 2019 20:27:02 GMT 1, it's for charity...
kaws is donating mini prints to help sponsor kids same as the BK mini prints, buyers are giving money to help sponsor kids
yet some members with no intention of buying/selling/donating find a way to be bitter about it
this isn't an attempt to create a key artistic piece, but just a fun little thank you card for being a good human being
it's for charity...

Exactly this is for charity how could anyone be complaining about this my god. If you want a real KAWS print you are going to need to spend the cash that's just how it is now. You had about 16 plus years to buy a somewhat affordable KAWS print. Even at the end of 2017 I got a great deal on a blame game print thanks to this forum.

Yes it is charity, but maybe just maybe, if Kaws takes one of his paintings and auctions it, all that money could be far greater than the sum of these scraps. That's quality charity.

my point is that he could release full-image prints for charity, at very little cost to him. i'm sure his fans would be much more appreciative of buying 'full prints' for charity than signed pieces of discarded prints.
they don't even have to be big, could just be an 8x11 print that isn't a fragment of a discarded image.
here it seems like the charity wins, the museum wins, kaws wins, and the fans win insofar as they want to buy a signed piece of an image. i think the fans would win a lot more if the prints were actual full-image prints rather than pieces of prints, and i think the cost to make that happen for kaws would be extremely minimal. it is almost like turning the market against fans for the sake of charity.

Thought it doesn't take away from part of the point that the chap above was trying to make. that it is scraps with the Kaws signature.

Kaws โข MOCAD Print Edition, by orchid on Apr 27, 2019 11:56:14 GMT 1, Bravo Kaws. At $3500, priced at bk print secondary (lol at people asking/paying 5/6000 straight away) , cuts out general public feeders and some teen flippers. More money for charity and more recognition. They will sell out, less quick than bk, though galleries and their staff will buy up a lot. No meat short term, especially as some look pretty shocking. I'm sure he'll keep watching secondary and price the next museum scrap drop accordingly.
