拍品資料及來源

居住在紐約的知名藝術家布萊恩·唐納利有一個更為人熟知的名字——KAWS,崛起於安迪·沃荷批量生產的藝術和凱斯·哈林的塗鴉作品之後。他的作品模糊了藝術與商業物品間的界限,常常由流行大眾文化中取得素材,也描繪經典兒童漫畫中的熟悉身影。KAWS令諸多眾所周知的人物形象耳目一新,如辛普森一家、海綿寶寶和米奇老鼠等,打破語言及文化壁壘,成為普羅大拉米雷斯眾理解無礙的藝術品。比如說,他的《Kimpsons》系列就顛覆了傳統美國漫畫《辛普森一家》(The Simpsons),為每個漫畫人物注入誇張的情感,很容易為世人所理解。他們誇張的骷髏頭及X型眼睛都是KAWS的經典標誌,來自藝術家早期在紐約佈告板及品牌海報上創作的塗鴉生涯,於此作中亦可看到。此種大膽有趣的創作方式將KAWS筆下的人物與其原生的漫畫形象剝離開來,但同時又散發出一種勉強的融匯意味。一九九〇年代至二〇〇〇年代初,日本出版了一本限量雜誌刊登KAWS的藝術創作,後來藝術家更直接以雜誌名字為自己網站命名,此作便曾經登上雜誌封面。《黃色通道》從未現身拍場,實乃藏家購得藝術家早期經典之作的罕有良機,因其代表著藝術家由平面塗鴉繪畫轉向創作立體玩具及雕塑的重要轉捩點。
