In this lot Sotheby's presents the full KAWS x Robert Lazzarini 'Distorted Companion' - one of the most unique Companions produced.  


Consisting of three painted cast vinyl sculptures, each piece in the set encapsulates Lazzarini's signature manipulation and distortion techniques alongside KAWS' iconic Companion figure. Stamped with 'KAWS / LAZZARINI 2010 MEDICOM TOY CHINA' on the underside, these sculptures stand as a testament to the artists' creative visions and striking aesthetics.


Measuring 17.8 x 13.3 x 6.4 cm (Brown), 19.7 x 12.1 x 5.1 cm (Black), and 21 x 11.4 x 6.4 cm (Grey), each figure in the set boasts a distinct form of deformation, echoing Lazzarini's penchant for altering perspectives and imbuing objects with historical significance. Utilizing special molds to achieve the distorted appearance, reminiscent of his acclaimed Weapons Series, Lazzarini infuses the Companions with a sense of fluidity and transformation. 


Released in 2010 with an edition of 1000 for each color variant, the KAWS x Robert Lazzarini 'Distorted Companion' set represents a captivating exploration of form and narrative within the world of contemporary collectibles.
