{"product_id":"running-snoopy-brooklyn-museum-variant","title":"Running Snoopy (Brooklyn Museum Variant)","description":"\u003cp\u003eAPC ART is delighted to present *Running Snoopy (Brooklyn Museum Charity Edition)*, one of the most charming and desirable small-format editions ever released by KAWS. Published by the Brooklyn Museum in 2020 on the occasion of the artist's landmark retrospective, *KAWS: WHAT PARTY?*, this beautifully executed work is a hand-pulled silkscreen print in colors on luxurious Saunders Waterford 425gsm Hi White fine art paper. The work is hand signed, dated, and numbered by the artist and measures **9 x 10 inches**, with optional museum framing measuring **13 x 14 inches**.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike the vast majority of examples currently offered on the secondary market, this work has **never been framed or displayed**. It remains in pristine, as-issued condition and will arrive exactly as it was received directly from the Brooklyn Museum in 2020, complete with its original museum packaging (Masterpak). Few examples remain in this untouched state, making it particularly appealing to discerning collectors seeking the finest possible example.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe *Running Snoopy* cut-out edition perfectly encapsulates everything collectors admire about KAWS' work. Seamlessly merging one of the world's most beloved cartoon characters with his unmistakable visual language, the piece demonstrates the artist's extraordinary ability to transform familiar imagery into something entirely his own. Executed as a precisely die-cut silkscreen rather than a traditional rectangular print, the work possesses an object-like quality that gives it remarkable presence despite its intimate scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFew contemporary artists have had a greater impact on twenty-first century art than KAWS. From his early interventions on advertising billboards to major museum exhibitions around the globe, Brian Donnelly has successfully bridged the worlds of fine art, design, fashion, sculpture, and popular culture. His works reside in many of the world's most important private and institutional collections, while his editions continue to attract an extraordinarily loyal international collector base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Brooklyn Museum's *WHAT PARTY?* exhibition is widely regarded as one of the defining moments of KAWS' career. The exhibition introduced his work to a broader museum audience while celebrating more than two decades of artistic innovation. Released exclusively in conjunction with this blockbuster exhibition, the Brooklyn Museum editions have become some of the artist's most sought-after contemporary releases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2020, APC ART was fortunate enough to acquire **one example of every Brooklyn Museum charity variant directly from the museum**. After several years of carefully placing these works into important collections, we are now down to **our final two examples**. We are continually approached by collectors searching for these cut-out editions, particularly this *Running Snoopy* variant, which has become increasingly difficult to source in exceptional condition. In our opinion, these remaining examples represent two of the strongest and most visually successful variants from the entire release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVisually, *Running Snoopy* is simply captivating. The vibrant palette, layered color fields, and instantly recognizable silhouette create a work that is playful, sophisticated, and unmistakably KAWS. Whether displayed independently or alongside other contemporary editions, it commands attention well beyond its modest dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom an investment perspective, this represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire one of KAWS' increasingly scarce museum editions. The combination of direct museum provenance, pristine never-framed condition, original Masterpak packaging, hand-signed status, and dwindling market availability continues to make these Brooklyn Museum releases highly sought after by both seasoned collectors and those entering the contemporary art market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work is **in hand** and will ship immediately from **Atlanta, Georgia**.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with all works offered by APC ART, we are pleased to offer **true museum-quality archival framing** and preservation consultation services. Please feel free to inquire regarding our custom framing options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**APC ART** \u003cbr\u003e+1 (404) 457-4499\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003clabel class=\"ControlGroup__Title-sc-2587cfb4-1 iJgrdA\"\u003eProvenance\u003c\/label\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ControlGroup__Description-sc-2587cfb4-2 deluFC\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePurchased direct from the Brooklyn Musuem in 2020. \u003cbr\u003eIncluded with the work will be the editioned picture COA as issued by the museum (attached to the masterpak) and HAND NUMBERED from the edition by the museum.
