Kaws NGV - COMPANIONSHIP IN THE AGE OF LONELINESS, by Gentle Mental on Dec 3, 2019 15:46:52 GMT 1, No where near the best print ever. But interesting to stare at and think about loss and companionship - the X X eyes take on a different meaning. Usually they represent, to me, a great fuck you to the man, they represent drunk high perverted and other good stuff. The X Xs here are unusually literal - the BFF is dead. And the companion is sorrowfully shut.

Kaws NGV - COMPANIONSHIP IN THE AGE OF LONELINESS, by Gentle Mental on Dec 3, 2019 14:57:25 GMT 1, Oooh - you can’t beat the statues. I was in Shanghai Yuz. There were 10 meter tall giants - he managed to transform humour and subversive ness into awe and beauty. But the vinyl is what it is. Figurines. Even the 4ft. And for this subject matter, the sense of loss is stronger in the sketch. And I’m sure even stronger in the statues.

Kaws NGV - COMPANIONSHIP IN THE AGE OF LONELINESS, by Gentle Mental on Dec 3, 2019 13:49:34 GMT 1, Can we talk about the image a bit ? I’ve rarely seen the drawn version of Kaws’ toy. And this sketch reveals quite a bit. The light and shade actually feel more emotive than the toy. The sense of “gone” may feel stronger in the sketch. Whadayathink? Thanks

Kaws NGV - COMPANIONSHIP IN THE AGE OF LONELINESS, by Gentle Mental on Dec 3, 2019 0:29:03 GMT 1, Still bloody impressive. Getting 750 people to pay $4200 for a small one color sketch of a print in 3 days or so. Then again i suspect $500 a pop for thousands of open Ed toys are even more impressive. Kaws is Koons for the masses.

Kaws NGV - COMPANIONSHIP IN THE AGE OF LONELINESS, by Gentle Mental on Dec 2, 2019 8:23:38 GMT 1, there is no question this is an iconic image. BFF X COMPANION. You can't go any more iconic than that... Not a spongebob or abstract colour blocks - this is signature KAWS.... the print size is decent too. And it's a silkscreen.. and Brian's super particular about details - so it will look great.... question is - is 750 x 4k USD too large an edition? Did he just cut open the golden goose?

Kaws NGV - COMPANIONSHIP IN THE AGE OF LONELINESS, by Gentle Mental on Dec 2, 2019 4:09:04 GMT 1, Ok the video convinced me - it looks around A3. Which is very decent. An old kaws figure with far larger edition and unsigned (plus tons of fakes) would costs more. This is pricey - will be selling some old toys to fund this.. hahaha Bearbrick 1000% Dissected anyone? DM for first dibs...

"that vest framed on the wall? it's 350k..."
