KAWS, Medicom Toy, Bape

Dissected Milo by artist KAWS and A Bathing Ape (BAPE).

• Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
• Stamped on the underside.
• Made in China.

KAWS Dissected Milo was born out of a collaboration between the seminal KAWS collector Nigo and his brand Bathing Ape (or BAPE); the piece combines both enterprises’ signature figure into one, the Bape Baby Milo and KAWS Dissected Companion.

The work depicts BAPE’s Baby Milo divided into two halves, each side expressive of the the KAWS' notable anatomy aesthetic. The figures combine several ideas in a relatively simple form: the temporality of life, the relationship between a brand and its creator, as well as inner divide.
