APC ART is pleased to present the complete *Promise* set by KAWS, comprising all three original colorways—**Brown, Black and Gray**—released by KAWSONE on the occasion of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Published in 2022, each sculpture is a beautifully executed painted cast vinyl figure measuring **34 × 16 × 24 cm (approximately 13.4 × 6.3 × 9.4 inches)**. Each large Companion is signed and dated in the plate on the underside of the foot and was produced as part of an open edition.

Offered here is a **complete matching three-piece set**, with each sculpture remaining **brand new, factory sealed in its original KAWSONE packaging**. Every figure retains its original **Medicom Toy holographic authenticity label** affixed to the box. Included with the purchase is a **copy of our original purchase receipt (personal information redacted)** together with an **APC ART Certificate of Authenticity**, guaranteeing the authenticity of the works in perpetuity.

Released during the 2022 FIFA World Cup, *The Promise* quickly became one of the defining sculptural editions of KAWS' career. Rather than celebrating competition alone, the work focuses on something far more universal—the passing of hope, responsibility and optimism from one generation to the next. The larger Companion gently hands the globe to a smaller figure, creating one of the artist's most heartfelt and emotionally resonant compositions. It is a sculpture about family, mentorship, unity and our collective responsibility to care for the world we leave behind.

Although inspired by the spirit of the World Cup, the message extends well beyond football. It celebrates the camaraderie, shared experiences and cultural connections that unite people across continents. The globe becomes a powerful symbol—not simply of sport—but of humanity itself, making *The Promise* one of KAWS' most universally appreciated editions.

Executed at an impressive scale, these sculptures possess tremendous presence. Each figure features the exceptional molding, soft-touch finish and meticulous paint application for which Medicom Toy and KAWSONE have become internationally renowned. Whether displayed individually or together, they command attention; however, presented as a complete trio, they become true statement works, creating an installation that is both playful and deeply meaningful.

KAWS has established himself as one of the most important contemporary artists of the twenty-first century. From his beginnings as a street artist intervening on billboards to major exhibitions at institutions including the Brooklyn Museum, the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, the National Gallery of Victoria and museums throughout Asia and Europe, Brian Donnelly has continually blurred the boundaries between fine art, sculpture, design and popular culture. His sculptures and editions have become icons of contemporary collecting, attracting an international audience that spans seasoned collectors, museums and a new generation of enthusiasts.

APC ART was fortunate enough to secure **a significant allocation of these sculptures directly during the 2022 World Cup release**. Even several years later, complete matching sets remain increasingly difficult to acquire, particularly in untouched, factory-sealed condition. While individual figures periodically appear on the secondary market, complete original trios have become notably scarcer, making this an especially compelling acquisition for collectors seeking the strongest presentation of the edition.

From an investment perspective, *The Promise* stands among KAWS' most recognizable sculptural releases. Its emotional narrative, global appeal, museum-quality production and direct association with one of the world's most celebrated sporting events continue to make it one of the artist's most sought-after modern editions. Complete sets, preserved exactly as issued by the publisher, represent an increasingly desirable segment of the KAWS market.

The works are **in hand** and will ship immediately from **Atlanta, Georgia**.

As with all works offered by APC ART, we are pleased to offer **true museum-quality archival framing and display consultation**. Please feel free to inquire regarding our custom presentation options.
