KAWS - BFF Companion MoMA BFF Companion MoMA by KAWS is an ode to friendship, identity and contemporary culture. This sculpture combines playfulness with depth, recognizability with alienation. The bright blue, furry figure with its distinctive "XX" eyes radiates both warmth and melancholy. KAWS once again manages to create a character that is universally appealing - sweet, endearing and at the same time a sharp commentary on the emotional emptiness of modern society. The work is carefully designed, with a striking texture that evokes movement and energy. The color blue symbolizes tranquility, but also loneliness - a contrast that makes the image irresistibly intriguing. Every detail, from the soft curves to the closed gaze, is designed to evoke a sense of connection as well as introspection. Developed in collaboration with the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), this artwork embodies KAWS' unique power to make art accessible. It balances perfectly between fine art and pop culture, between childlike simplicity and adult meaning. Moreover, BFF Companion MoMA invites reflection on authenticity and emotional connection in an increasingly digital world. With its universal appeal and recognizable formal language, this work is not only an art object, but also a symbol of empathy and modern humanism. It reminds us that true connection begins with vulnerability.

KAWS - Time Off Time Off by KAWS is a masterpiece that subtly captures the balance between tranquility and irony. The reclining figure, with its soft pink tones and distinctive X-eyes, exudes calmness, but at the same time carries a deeper layer of melancholy. This artwork embodies the modern need for escape - a moment of pause in a world that is constantly in motion. The composition is simple but powerful. The body lies relaxed, the lines are fluid, and the whole breathes softness and introspection. Yet, as is often the case with KAWS, there is more than meets the eye. The figure appears to be resting, but his closed eyes and averted gaze evoke feelings of vulnerability and isolation. This creates an interesting tension between relaxation and solitude. Moreover, in Time Off, KAWS uses his signature pop-art influences to express something universal: the need for rest and self-reflection. The work seems like a call to pause for a moment, to let go and breathe in the hectic pace of modern life. The figure's soft, almost caressable texture enhances the feeling of comfort, while the simple background focuses all attention on the character himself. Time Off fits perfectly within KAWS' oeuvre, which combines emotion, familiarity and irony. The combination of childlike forms with adult themes creates a unique tension that is loved worldwide. It is art that is both comforting and confrontational - a visual reminder of the importance of rest and introspection.

KAWS, The News 2 The News 2 by KAWS is a powerful statement on modern visual culture. Bright colors collide with fluid lines, making the work immediately attention-grabbing. KAWS' characteristic "XX" eyes symbolize both humor and melancholy, recognizable yet mysterious. This round composition connects abstraction with recognizable forms. This creates a dynamic tension between chaos and control. The bright hues, overlapping layers and whimsical patterns depict a world in which information and emotion constantly merge. KAWS invites you to look beyond the surface - to find meaning in the apparent disorder. The News 2 is more than a work of art; it is a visual reflection on identity, consumption and the power of color. Every line, every shape, every hue contributes to a hypnotic rhythm that grabs the viewer. Through its use of humor and contrast, KAWS creates a work of art that is at once playful and confrontational.

The News - KAWS The News by KAWS is a powerful visual statement that grabs immediate attention. The round composition pulsing with color and energy, invites the viewer to look beyond the surface. The work combines bright yellow, deep purple, red and neon accents to create a dynamic whole full of tension and rhythm. Moreover, the iconic cross-shaped motif subtly references KAWS' well-known XX signature - his personal symbol of anonymity, pop culture and modern identity. The lines are sharp, the shapes bold, and the colors intentionally clash to evoke emotion and movement. This creates an intriguing balance between chaos and control. Each element in The News seems to vibrate with intensity. This work confronts, stimulates and inspires. It shows that news - in the world of KAWS - is not just information, but pure experience. The contrasting colors create a rhythmic interplay, while the abstract forms evoke something universal: recognition in confusion. At the same time, the round shape is a symbol of cycles, endlessness and constant change - exactly what news embodies in our time. In short, The News is not just an artwork, it is a visual translation of the modern rhythm of attention, media and emotion.

Warm Regards - KAWS With Warm Regards, KAWS presents a work that combines playfulness and irony with its iconic imagery. The artwork depicts a cartoon-like figure in the form of a stylized poop emoji, complete with the recognizable X-eyes and oversized gloves. This creates a humorous yet thought-provoking image that immediately grabs attention. At first the work seems light and funny, but then you discover the layering. KAWS plays with symbols from popular culture and transforms them into art that raises questions. Moreover, the title Warm Regards emphasizes the irony: an apparently friendly greeting in a playful, but also confrontational appearance. It is precisely this contrast that makes the work intriguing and multifaceted. Warm Regards fits perfectly within the oeuvre of KAWS, in which he switches effortlessly between street art, pop art and contemporary art. His style is recognizable worldwide and loved by collectors. Moreover, works like this are particularly sought after, giving them not only aesthetic value, but also a clear collector's value.

Paper Smile - KAWS With Paper Smile, KAWS once again demonstrates its ability to transform an apparently playful image into a powerful work of art. The work consists of fragmentary black bars with yellow outlines, laid across the composition. Behind them emerge the iconic eyes - large, round and bearing the familiar X shape. This creates a sense of tension and mystery, as if there is something hidden yet wanting to be visible. At first, Paper Smile appears abstract and graphic. Then you recognize the distinctive style of KAWS, in which elements of street art and pop art subtly come together. Moreover, the bright contrasts between black, yellow and purple create a visually powerful look. It is precisely this combination of simplicity and intensity that makes this work so intriguing. Paper Smile is more than a play of lines and shapes. It refers to themes such as identity, masking and the role of visual culture in our time. As a result, the work appeals not only to art lovers, but also to collectors who appreciate the deeper layers of KAWS.

Certificaat van echtheid

Een certificaat van echtheid (COA) is een document van een gezaghebbende bron dat de echtheid van het kunstwerk verifieert. Veel COA’s zijn ondertekend door de kunstenaar, maar andere zijn ondertekend door de vertegenwoordigende galerie of de drukker die samen met de kunstenaar aan het werk heeft gewerkt. Voor werken op de secundaire markt zijn gemachtigde nalatenschappen of stichtingen vaak de uitgevende partij.

COA’s bevatten meestal de naam van de kunstenaar, de details (titel, datum, medium, afmetingen) van het werk in kwestie en waar mogelijk een afbeelding van het werk.

Certificat d'authenticité

Un certificat d’authenticité (COA) est un document émanant d’une source autorisée qui vérifie l’authenticité de l’œuvre d’art. De nombreux COA sont signés par l’artiste, mais d’autres sont signés par la galerie qui représente l’œuvre ou par l’imprimeur qui a travaillé avec l’artiste sur l’œuvre. Pour les œuvres sur le marché secondaire, les successions ou fondations autorisées sont souvent la partie émettrice.

Les ACO comprennent généralement le nom de l’artiste, des informations détaillées (titre, date, support, dimensions) sur l’œuvre en question et, si possible, une image de l’œuvre.
