Is ir worth buying KAWS figurines?, by Smokeidaeye on Jun 8, 2020 20:24:16 GMT 1, All of the recent ones have been open editions which means he can always offer more which drives down the price. Personally I'd only buy them if you like to display them, not if you think you are going to get rich off of them.

genuine question, why do you think invader stands above the rest? Donโt understand the appeal. Itโs all about repetition. Canโt find any meaning in his work. I just see advertising. Even his shows donโt seem to me to project any personality. I donโt dislike his work as such but I donโt get the constant fawning as if itโs groundbreaking. Willing to be educated as to his appeal.

Is ir worth buying KAWS figurines?, by Hairbland on Jun 8, 2020 23:29:19 GMT 1, Interesting and seemingly astute opinions from noobs who have joined the forum in the last 6-7 months. Meanwhile KAWS one of the only street artists I know of since I joined with a growing career and actual museum shows.
Vinyl degrades (crumbling, discoloration) over time. I got rid of most of mine as not a great long term investment. Also less dusting.
For me he is hit or miss, not fond of his too little too late launch Wednesday. Hate his Snoopy Dolphin etc prints.
When I go to a show of his - gallery, outdoors, museum - I see people of all ages and colors enjoying the art and themselves.

TBH Iโm not his biggest fan but I do see some artistic merit in what he does. Iโve sold all but one his pieces that i owned as thereโs been a lot of manipulation of his market, which is common itโs just been done in a clumsy way which turns me off. I think you need to look at his body of work and the impact his street pieces have had in certain cities and the way heโs taken an almost redundant technique and reinvented it. I lived in Central London years back when a lot of his works were up around the City and they had quite an impact. I think if you look at certain works in isolation they can be a bit under whelming (and a lot of people wonโt get them) but I think overall he has a chance of being recognised as a serious artist (possibly). |

Buy the classic โoriginal fakeโ kaws figures.
New open editions could be produced forever (although some seem less likely to be remade than others)
Prints are hugely over priced, IMO.

Is ir worth buying KAWS figurines?, by Gentle Mental on Jun 9, 2020 0:47:07 GMT 1, Despite being open Ed. They still sell out out at launch. Or maybe Kaws keep some. Either way he knows if he keeps re releasing them they wonโt be back.
But he does need to re release them sometimes.
Say for a museum show or something.
Point is - I think he wants to keep the option open.
But he wonโt exploit it as it breaks trust and bad for business.
So there is a good chance there might be no more in the future.
So yes maybe. But buy with eyes wide open and fingers tightly crossed!
Kaws will be up there with Banksy. His auction prices, global cultural influences, major museum shows and large scale installationS, cement his place in art history. Invader is a distant third.
