KAWS
American, b. 1974

KAWS (born Brian Donnelly, Jersey City, New Jersey, 1974) is an American artist and designer based in Brooklyn, New York, best known for his monumental sculptures and hard-edge paintings featuring the COMPANION — a cartoon-derived figure with X-ed-out eyes — which has become among the most recognizable characters in contemporary art. His work synthesizes street art, graphic design, and fine art into a single visual language that reaches both gallery audiences and global consumer culture.KAWS built his early reputation in the 1990s by subverting commercial billboard and bus shelter advertisements in New York City, Paris, and Tokyo, inserting his characters into existing imagery. He transitioned to gallery exhibitions in 1999 and began a series of high-profile brand collaborations — with Nike in 1999, Uniqlo in 2016, and Dior in 2019 — that extended his reach far beyond conventional art world audiences.In April 2019, The KAWS Album (2005, acrylic on canvas, 54 × 54 in.) — a riff on the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover — sold for HK$116.1 million (approximately $14.8 million USD) at Sotheby's, Hong Kong, more than fifteen times its pre-sale high estimate.

Upon very close inspection, there are very faint marks on the underside of the head of the figure. The work presents well. No other apparent condition issues noted.
