KAWS (Brian Donnelly, b. 1974) is one of the most sought-after contemporary artists of his generation, known for bridging the worlds of fine art, street culture, and global brand collaborations. Beginning his career in the 1990s as a graffiti artist in New York City, KAWS quickly gained recognition for his subversive interventions on billboards and bus shelters before transitioning into paintings, sculptures, and limited-edition collectibles that have achieved international acclaim.
His signature characters—such as COMPANION and BFF—are instantly recognizable, rendered in bold colors and clean, graphic lines that merge pop culture with a refined painterly sensibility. KAWS’s large-scale sculptures have been exhibited in major cities worldwide, and his paintings are collected by top-tier museums including the Brooklyn Museum, the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, and the National Gallery of Victoria.
The KAWS market has been one of the most dynamic in recent years, with major works commanding multi-million-dollar prices at auction and consistent demand for both unique pieces and limited editions. For collectors, KAWS offers an unparalleled combination of cultural relevance, market strength, and instantly recognizable style—making his work a cornerstone of any serious contemporary collection.
