'KAWS: Where the End Starts' available at last!

Featured image, of Pharrell Williams with KAWS’s “BFF PLUSH” in 2016, is reproduced from KAWS: Where the End Starts, back in stock at last. In a published conversation, Williams states, “One of the reasons I like your work is that you pick the right subjects and you pick the right characters. It has to be something people are familiar with in order for you to give it the “twist.” To me, the genius in your art is your willingness to twist things." KAWS responds, “A lot of the stuff I choose is just really personal. It’s things I’ve grown up on or have been introduced to that I’ve taken a liking to . . . I do start with familiar things, and that’s primarily to make the work more approachable for people—it’s an entry point.”
