KAWS (American, b. 1974) Chum 20th Anniversary in pink, 2022 Painted cast vinyl Presented in original packaging Measures approx. 29.5 x 19.6 cm KAWS (American, b.1974) is a notable limited-edition toy and clothing designer. He was born in Jersey City, NJ, as Brian Donnelly. Growing up in New Jersey, KAWS first became interested in graffiti in elementary school, where he spent a good deal of time copying graffiti images onto paper. His first influences were neighbourhood children, who painted graffiti images on walls within his community. As he grew older, his influences came from traditional life painters, such as Gerhard Richter (German, b.1932), Klaus Oldenberg (Swedish, b.1929), and Chuck Close (American, b.1940). KAWS’s career began as a graffiti artist in New York, NY, in the early 1990s. His images were seen on billboards, bus stops, and in phone booths. He obtained his BFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York. Immediately after graduation in 1996, KAWS began working as a freelance artist for Disney, creating animated backgrounds. Some of his most popular works include his contributions to 101 Dalmations, Daria, and Doug. Once KAWS began to gain popularity, his graffiti advertisements became highly sought after. He traveled extensively to work in Paris, London, Germany, and Japan. In 1998, he received the Pernod Liquid Art Award, which offers a grant to new artists. In late 1990s, KAWS began to design and produce limited-edition toys. These gained international popularity, especially in Japan. He also began to collaborate on several different toys, including with Nigo (Japanese, b.1970) for A Bathing Ape. Some of KAWS’s other popular collaborative works include his redesign of Mickey Mouse, The Michelin Man, and SpongeBob SquarePants. The artist’s solo exhibitions have been held at The Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art in Ridgefield, CT, the Harris Museum in Preston, UK, the Parco Gallery in Tokyo, Japan, and the City Gallery Chastain in Atlanta, GA. His solo exhibition, OriginalFake at the Bape Gallery in Tokyo, Japan, featured a sculpture entitled Wonderful World, which sold for US$400,000. KAWS’s traveling exhibition, Beautiful Losers, toured throughout Europe and the United States and included a showing at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, GA. The artist currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. If postage is required, any print within this sale will be posted rolled unless informed otherwise.

Er wurde in eine gebildete und ehrgeizige Familie hineingeboren. Mitte der 1850er Jahre befand sich Schottland jedoch im Sog der Wirtschaftskrise, sodass er nach Kanada auswandern musste. 1856 gründete er sein erstes Atelier in Montreal. Sein persönliches und berufliches Interesse an der Kunst führte dazu, dass Notman Beziehungen zu den bedeutendsten Malern Montreals aufbaute. Mehrere von ihnen, J. Web, H. Sandham, Otto Reinhold Jacobi, Charles Jones Way und F. Danby, sowie Cornelius Krieghoff sind in diesem Album mit einer großen Anzahl fotografischer Reproduktionen zeitgenössischer kanadischer Gemälde vertreten, darunter 10 mit kanadischen Landschaften und Jagdszenen.

Sandham, Otto Reinhold Jacobi, Charles Jones Way, and F. Danby, along with Cornelius Krieghoff, were represented in this album, with a great number of photographic reproductions of contemporary Canadian paintings, of which 10 with Canadian landscapes and hunting scenes.
