APC ART is pleased to offer our global collector base this incredibly hard to find, unique work by the enigmatic genius that is “KAWS” (Brian Donnelly).

The work has been framed to true museum standard with a hand cut wood frame, silver, acid free matte board (beveled in white) and true vue museum glass.

The work will arrive ready to hang and be enjoyed, immediately.

This is an extremely rare KAWS work; handed out at the opening night of the exhibition at Elms Lester gallery; ”KAWS: “ #@! $: RECENT WORKS” .

The exhibit took place from Oct 21 - Oct 27, 2002, in London.

On the bottom right of the work it states the show runs Oct 22- Oct 26 (it must have been extended).

Please see pictures for some very cool shots of the exhibit and (the now) iconic works that were exhibited.

KAWS signed this piece on opening night in his old “Graffiti style” font.

If you are a serious collector of the KAWS work(s), you may want to consider this piece as it is a true relic from very, very early in KAWS’ career.

I, personally have never seen another one of these.

I would imagine there may be a few out there somewhere, keep in mind this example is signed and dated. Truly iconic.

This work is an exceptional, early-period work from KAWS, ”Pinocchio” captures the artist’s unmistakable ability to transform a universally recognized character into a sharp commentary on truth, perception, and commercial culture.

Executed in 2002, at a time when KAWS’ crossover from street art to the fine art market was gaining momentum, the piece’s bold electric-blue outlines and stark black ground heighten its visual impact and collectability.

Early signed works from this era have become increasingly scarce, with strong auction performance reflecting heightened demand from both contemporary art collectors and the global street art market.

This work is a truly exceptional investment opportunity for the discerning collector.
