{"product_id":"clean-slate-gray-variant-new-in-box","title":"Clean Slate (Gray Variant \/ New in box)","description":"\u003cp\u003e*APC ART is pleased to present one of the most iconic and sought-after sculptural works by contemporary art legend **KAWS**, the monumental figure titled **“Clean Slate” (Gray Variant).***\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced by **Medicom Toy in cooperation with KAWS ONE**, this work is executed in **painted cast vinyl** and measures an impressive **14.25” x 8”**, making it **the largest and most commanding KAWS figure ever produced**. This example is from a **limited but undisclosed edition**, and is **brand new in the original Medicom box**, complete with all original packaging materials exactly as issued.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*“Clean Slate”* represents a pivotal moment in KAWS’ sculptural practice. The figure depicts the artist’s iconic Companion form holding a child, while another hangs at its side — a powerful meditation on **legacy, responsibility, vulnerability, and generational continuity**. Unlike the ironic detachment of earlier works, this sculpture conveys emotional gravity and maturity, marking it as one of the most conceptually important works KAWS has ever released.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe **gray variant** is widely regarded as **the most desirable and collectible colorway** of *Clean Slate*. Its restrained, monochromatic palette emphasizes form, silhouette, and emotion, allowing the sculpture’s meaning to take precedence over color. Collectors consistently favor this variant for its museum-ready presence and timeless aesthetic, and it is the version most frequently requested by serious KAWS collectors worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKAWS is unquestionably one of the most influential artists of the 21st century, having successfully bridged **street art, fine art, design, fashion, and global pop culture**. His works are collected by **major museums**, including MoMA, the Brooklyn Museum, the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, and Yuz Museum, as well as by **elite private collectors, musicians, athletes, and cultural leaders**. His auction results routinely reach seven figures, and his most important sculptural works are aggressively pursued on the secondary market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom an acquisition standpoint, *“Clean Slate”* stands at the very top of KAWS’ sculptural hierarchy. As **the largest figure, the most emotionally resonant composition, and the most desirable colorway**, it represents a **blue-chip investment opportunity** within contemporary art and collectible sculpture. Demand continues to rise as examples disappear into long-term collections, while availability steadily declines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe figure is **signed and dated by the artist in the plate**, further confirming its authenticity. The work is **in hand** and will **ship immediately from Miami Beach, USA**, carefully packed to preserve the original Medicom packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA rare opportunity to acquire **KAWS’ most important and most coveted sculptural work**, in its **most desirable variant**, in **brand new, untouched condition**.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*OFFERED EXCLUSIVELY BY APC ART* \u003cbr\u003e*MIA.
