KAWS 2020 Companion: Complete Set of 3 Works:

KAWS COMPANION 2020 was created by KAWS to commemorate the 20th anniversary of his signature figure, Companion — and as cultural commentary on a year we will all never forget. KAWS' COMPANION 2020 was rendered laying down, appearing exhausted and defeated. This historical KAWS set is rich with deep personal meaning to the artist, and is also very well-sized in comparison to his other figures at 17" long (each individual).

Artist Statement:

“2020, what a year... On the occasion of the 20th Anniversary of COMPANION, I am happy to release COMPANION 2020... Thank you for all your support over the past 20 years..."

KAWS is a fine artist, illustrator, painter, sculptor, product designer and toymaker. His cartoonish style—including his best-known characters with X-ed out eyes—has its roots in his early career as a street artist, when he began replacing advertisements with his own masterful acrylic paintings in the early 1990s.
