”Ups and Downs” is without doubt, one of KAWS’ most coveted suites.
The suite features ALL of the stylistic elements that propelled the artist to the forefront of the contemporary art landscape.
This specific work; PLATE ONE from the suite (of ten works) has always been considered the penultimate piece from ”Ups and Downs” .
While all of the plates are instantly identifiable as the work of Brian Donnelly (KAWS) , some of the plates work better than others as STAND ALONE pieces.
It has always been the opinion of many collectors as well as curators that plate one works best as a stand alone piece.
The work is complete with all of the signature stylistic elements and cues we have come to expect from KAWS ; various vivid, pastel, hues of Pink, Blue, Orange and Purple are assigned to contemporary shapes; some with flowing, overlapping lines while others form a straight edge.
The culmination is a large, iconic KAWS work, complete with the artist’s signature ”X X” marks forming a face, forever frozen in stern mannerisms and sensibility with a hint of playfulness that these earlier works from KAWS always seem to embody.
The work is on Saunders Waterford 410GSM ultra white Art Paper which is Extremely thick— nearing hard card stock.
The work is hand signed as well as hand numbered by the artist in graphite pencil.
If you are a collector who has always dreamed of owning a Large Scale , early Kaws work, now is undoubtedly the time to pull the trigger; KAWS’ work(s) have seen a sharp uptick on the secondary market as of recent.
The work is unframed and will ship flat.
