Kaws • Man’s Best Friend • 10 Print Set, by bbperez1 on Jul 7, 2020 18:15:09 GMT 1, Good to see he's releasing more prints, but seriously, why so expensive? A print release is a nod to people who can't afford his canvases, but most people will struggle to afford $8,000. Why not make them $500 like Banksy would and let fans have a chance at owning one for their walls? Sure, flippers will flip, but at least there's a chance. I like Kaws' work but his greed gets in the way a bit
And let the peasants eat away at his 5.25 million profit. .
I think not.
At the end of the day. This is a business. That building next door to his studio wasn’t cheap.

Kaws • Man’s Best Friend • 10 Print Set, by Deleted on Jul 7, 2020 18:17:25 GMT 1, I think it’s deplorable he’s doing this. Balls deep in a pandemic and impending global recession. He tries to caveat making $8m across 800 or so prints by releasing 20 charity prints. Even Hirst done an open edition for charity. There will be people out of a job using their kids college funds to buy this...
Fair and valid points
But I would still like one
Mad this art game
Hirst did do well with his, fair play to him

Wondering the same - nowhere is signed/numbered mentioned. Also the image he send is not numbered signed... that would be a bummer...

Never roundup when buying. All ways round down. Good point ... just some sarcasm ... For ex: you buy a nice new Mac for $5k and then you get home and realize that the $10 cord was sold separately
Maybe Kaws will let me do Curb side pickup ... Citi-bike or ferry over to his studio (save $300!)

I've thought the same thing, he seems to CRANK out prints. Tension 1000 prints, 750 of the Book Prints, MOCAD Prints, Recent Charity Print Cutouts, 840 of these Chum Prints...
I'm sure these will sell out, but could the amount of work he is selling attribute to a decline in his market? KAWS' career has many, many years left, unless he decides to just stop. I wonder if it's just pure greed at this point?

I don't see why such assumption won't be correct. If it's not specified that the print is signed, there's a chance it's not

Never really been that bothered about signatures so long as it applies to the entire edition ? What difference does it make if there’s no signature to its value ? After all it’s an edition and a highly publicised one at that ??

So much better than colourful cats & dolphins, or the cut up prints, or the paper plate sized ones, or the abstract sets from Miami and Australia....
Good image for a print
