Here is an off-the-wall (literally) request. These displays were printed (lithograph) and sealed in hard plexiglass to be distributed to select bars and restaurants for KAWS' summer of 2012 Hennessy campaign. I don't know how many were made, but they still are kind of a cool thing to have in a 'man-cave' or home bar.  Any thoughts on a price point besides "as much as someone is willing to pay" ?

The piece is roughly 48" tall x 30" wide

Still looking for a KAWS painting!

That's definitely a misprint - I can tell you the 4 foot bronzes currently retail for $210,000 - there are 10 of each color way and possibly a proof or two? If you have that kind of money get in touch with one of his galleries.

That is the exact amount Honor Fraser is asking for this kind of sculptures.. damn! 2AP to be release.

Geez, are Perrotin so stuck on themselves that they demand an extra 50k? LOL

And I suppose these were €...

Hi, 

I've got a couple of Kaws signed showcards... (they say To Dec on them)

I don't mind getting rid of a few but wondered if they're worth anything on the market?

Need some extra £££ towards my next purchase.

Thanks,
Dec

There's an apparent lack of irony and self-awareness here.

Whenever Kaws insists on adding dedications to the items he signs for people, I imagine it is specifically individuals like you that he has in mind.

[DB]

Fully aware of why they were signed and addressed to me, but as mentioned... In need of cash and if someone is a collector of Kaws and wanted signed bits...

Probably not much. Whatever someone will pay. I would throw them on an auction website and let em fly.

I personally would never buy something with another persons name on it.

He does sign occasionally just his name now and those don't even sell for great amounts.

Spot on met.
When Kaws was signing at the YSP, it was quite apparent that he would not sign and doodle books without a dedication to prevent exactly this sort of thing.
He doodled books for people for well over an hour.
Such a shame if that kindness towards fans is ignored.
And all these price check threads only encourage it.

I'm looking to buy a Warm Regards. There's on on the "bay" right now that I bid on. I'm a little concerned about authenticity and condition and wanted to check with some other users. I could be totally crazy, just doing my due diligence and constantly learning. One of the screen runs seems to be a bit off and I also have a little concern about the 05 in the signature (the 5 doesn't seem to match other 5s in other KAWS prints). Would a print get released like this with the gray being slightly off (is that normal)? I attached a picture from the listing. I really appreciate any feedback the users have here.

[Zanda]

To be slightly off registered is perfectly normal, and is part of the charm and beauty of screen printing as a process which is not entirely mechanised . Many Banksy prints are also not perfectly registered and often the better for it. From what I can see though, many Kaws prints do have very exacting standards, so I can't say if this is frequently seen with his works or not.

[mla]

Looks fine to me. I don't see any issues with the signature, paper is correct and I've seen other examples that appear slightly off register.

FYI -- it is a letterpress, not a screen print.

[abstractheory]

Awesome. Thank you both so much for the feedback. I was just concerned since there are the fakes and LAB prints out there. I really appreciate the quick responses. What's this print worth, so I don't overpay?

It varies significantly. These are the last two I can recall:

7/23/16 - eBay - $3,100USD [framed]
1/21/16 - Phillips - £5,000 [incl. buyer's premium]

To be honest, even at the current price, I would consider something else.  

[Howard Johnson]

I never understood the demand for "warm regards." Sure it's kind of silly and fun, but I can fathom shelling out a couple thousand dollars to have a smiling piece of s*it on my wall.

[abstractheory]

mla thank you very much. I agree with your judgement and I'm likely going to pass and wait for something better (especially at this price). I got lucky and picked up a KAWS No One's Home print a few weeks ago at a decent price and I'm actively looking for my next purchase. KAWS is my favorite, and I'm looking for his rarer prints and hopefully venture toward a KAWS OG as soon as my budget will allow.

Howard Johnson Totally. At first I kind of liked the smiling shit / ice cream contrast, but the more I thought about it, there are other prints that would better suit my collection. Thanks for your input.

Hit up slipry, they had one last time we spoke. 

[rumi]

Black is the only color available primary at the moment

[abstractheory]

Warm Regards sold for $4000 on the bay... Seems steep to me. (I didn't buy it)

There is one currently available on the bay for cheaper than our desired price-point as an FYI -

We (my wife and I) do indeed have one available in excellent condition.  If you would like pictures, let us know, and we will PM them to you tomorrow.  Firm asking price is $1050.00 (+ actual shipping and insurance costs at buyer's discretion/preferences). 

Plenty of positive feed-back for us here on UAA, expressobeas, etc., to set your mind at ease

Think I have said before but Toycube have tiered stock of the passing through's.

I bought there over a year ago for $1100 a piece, I just looked this morning on their site and they are asking $3k now.

You dont get better prov than Toycube as they released some of the KAWS toys.... you just need the wallet here.

I would never buy anything off  the bay or the secondary as so many fakes.

[DB]

I'm looking for showcards from previous Kaws exhibitions (NOT YSP) 

I can't afford Kaws prints atm but would love some showcards to add to my small collection.

(Also interested in Kaws stickers)

Thanks.

Looking for a Kaws BFF.

It will never sell anywhere close to $1000. They have had it there forever where it will remain.

I agree, seems unlikely :-)
