‘His work is universal, and it transcends the traditional market,’ said head of Sotheby’s New York’s contemporary art evening auctions David Galperin. It wasn’t until last year that KAWS was featured in an evening sale at a major auction house for the first time.

The survey of his career thus far will come a few years after the artist has risen from street artist with an Instagram presence to a major figure in the art world.

Anne Pasternak, director of the Brooklyn Museum, admitted that she ‘didn’t see the appeal initially’ and recognizes that he ‘makes the art world uncomfortable.’ However, she recalls artists tell her to take note and she did. Though he has shown at the Brooklyn Museum before, in 2015 the museum held an exhibition of his works titled ‘KAWS: ALONG THE WAY,’ this is his first major retrospective in his hometown. ‘My trajectory has been from the bottom up,’ said KAWS in an interview with The New York Times. It took years, though, before he was recognized by the art community. In the beginning, he’d put his work up illegally and garnered a massive following, now about two million-strong, on Instagram. From the Simpsons to Mickey Mouse, KAWS recreated the figures adding in his signature: a pair of ‘X’ eyes. KAWS began as a graffiti tagger before morphing into a street artist where he started creating his own personal rendition of various well-known cartoon characters. And in 2021, he’ll have a homecoming of sorts with the largest survey of his works to date at the Brooklyn Museum. However, that’s significantly changing for the artist who’s become one of today’s most sought-after and recognizable artist. His caricatured style, bold use of colour, and fluidity between mainstream art, street art, and fashion is something that most museums haven’t historically looked for in artists.
