After a successful exhibition last year, the Art Gallery of Ontario & KAWS return with a live showcase of their artists newly developed book dubbed KAWS: Family in celebration of the collaborative Canadian debut.
KAWS: FAMILY limited series book is a 156 page read and view of fully illustrated images celebrating their previous exhibition. Writing notes come from AGO Deputy Director and Chief Curator, Julian Cox who curated the exhibition that took place last year. Additionally, an interview with Jim Shedden, Curator, Special Projects and Director, Publications. Apart of the collection of illustrations, the collection features what was held at AGO – the GONE (2020), FAMILY (2021) piece, a painted bronze sculpture featuring COMPANION and a bulbous figure named CHUM and a fur-covered character named BFF, posed together – along with 60 additional pieces from the last two decades. Further detailing goes on throughout the book like the KAWS influences, creative process and impact.
To round off the custom experience, AGO is hosting a one-day book signing event. Tickets will be available in person only, beginning at noon on Friday, March 1. You can still get your hands on the book no matter where you are by visiting shopAGO.
