Ultra Violet ink

Is that glow in the dark ?

Classic little kaws for a couple of grand is a nice pickup for a collector of his works

Can’t compare it to anything else , it’s priced about right and it’s a nice image

His recent prints have had more APs than this entire edition size so they won’t be too easy to get hold of

No UV inks are specially formulated to cure when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light instead of oxidation (air)
All quality printers have UV inks ...

He looks like a migrant who left Africa who ended up in the water and is waiting with great appetite for the first shark.
The race for this shitty press, gentlemen, should at least be avoided.
If artists do shit, you have to point it out to them. You don't have to buy their shit and eat it. Unless you want to feed it to an idiot and at an exaggerated cost.
But this is another matter.

Well that’s one way of looking at it

Obviously nothing against migrants from Africa.
They too are victims of an unethical and shitty system.
That image reminds me that people just have no taste. Many at the mercy of the waves.

Purchase links are still going out.  I think they're just assuming it will sell out based on inquiries.

Please excuse my ignorance but can you explain how exactly this looks like an African immigrant ? You saw something stranded at sea and instantly your twisted head went to African migrants right.

Ignorant yes, I saw 368 deaths at sea in 2013 in Lampedusa.
They were poor immigrants seeking a better life far from their home.
They found their death.

If you have no artistic taste and like that shit, buy it.
Don't bother with beating around the bush.

I got an email earlier to purchase in which I have 24 hours to pay otherwise they’ll send out more emails. I’m undecided but it’s definitely not sold out yet, think I’ll sleep on it

[sufsean]

Anyone going to that kaws book signing at moma? Missed the window for rsvp and wanted to get something signed. If anyone is going - and wants to hook me up- Lmk!

[Gentle Mental]

I think this is his best one in a long long while... i think it's why it's the key image for the book cover, the uniqlo t-shirts etc etc - pulling back on edition size, lowering the price, a strong iconic image - is the body drowning or drifting - is life good or bad? is his market up or down - so many ways to read this - it can be as dark as you want. Unlike passing the globe to the next gen bullshit.
That all said - it's still crazy pricey.

Again you still haven’t answered how you knew they were Africans . You saw deaths at sea, sorry to hear of their unfortunate demise but how are you so certain they were Africans ? Your initial comment is very derogatory and borderline racist. But again I am happy to hear your explanation on how you arrived at Africans. 


“In April, a boat carrying dozens of Lebanese, Syrians and Palestinians trying to migrate by sea to Italy went down more than five kilometres (three miles) from the port of Tripoli”

The above nationalities in my comments are not Africans btw . Are Africans crossing the Mediterranean, yes.  Are other nationalities also crossing , very much so.  
does the image depict a darker hue character , no. As such I am still curious as to how you arrived at African migrants?

I had an email just before 9am this morning asking for my address IF one becomes available, then another email just now confirming allocation, closely followed by an invoice.......don't give up yet if you want one☺️

[Gentle Mental]

Mathematically speaking...
he "sold out" the last 16x20inch release of 500 + 100 AP at $5000 each (total 1500 prints!)... (weak images (IMHO)

and now it's an 7 x 7 incher, ed of 100 at $2500... (stronger image)

and the sales links are still dripping in...

What does it all mean?

[fm1975]

Every centimeter of KAWS work counts and sets the price....

30 x 24 inches edition of 100 + 55 AP/PP/HC for $8500 released 4 January, 2023 and still available:

shop.themodern.org/collections/collectibles/products/kaws-clean-slate-2022-screenprint-30-x-24-inches-edition-of-100

It is millimetrically calculated and everything already smells bad imo...

I have helped several Africans.
I also financed the Louise Michel ship, albeit with few resources. Lebanese, Chinese, African, European instead of Russian or American, it makes no difference to me. I'm not racist. They reminded me of the image of those dead at sea. How am I sure? What kind of fucking question are you asking? Those poor things were migrants from Africa!That image is bad.
In poor taste and far from artistically acceptable. People buy it just to make money.
Whether you like my answer or not, it is my answer.

The ignorance of some people, however, is shocking. Fortunately it only belongs to a few specimens. Those who usually persist in not finding the answer, even if it is very simple to find.

Friendliness.

Here we go. The usual defence. No I can’t be racist.  I have Africans as friends or in your case “ I have helped Africans” 

Enjoy the rest of your day , in the future , make your point without dragging  a continent into your comment.

It will certainly be a wonderful opportunity for those who intend to catapult the work to earn money. But only because it comes from Kaws.
There's nothing beautiful about that image in my opinion.
Nothing in every sense.

You're pumping her properly.
If it were a good piece... there would be no need to shout it from the rooftops.

[lukas01]

This image is beautiful. Kaws left it up to the end user to make their own interpretation. He carried out a technical study of artistic images before defining this work. Some have learned that even in recent months, Kaws slept alone on Saturday nights and for a maximum of 2 hours.
Truly a noteworthy commitment.

Avoid sending me DMs to express your dissent and your follies.
I won't change my thoughts.

This is a print that conveys nothing artistic.
