**This is the most desirable “Urge” color.**

*From the personal collection of **APC**, framed to museum standard. Ready to hang and enjoy!*

*APC ART is proud to present **URGE III**, one of the most striking and sought-after silkscreen editions released by **KAWS (Brian Donnelly)**. Published by **KAWSONE** in 2020, the work perfectly captures the visual language that has made KAWS one of the most celebrated and influential contemporary artists of the twenty-first century. Combining the artist's iconic Companion anatomy with impeccable printmaking and an intimate scale, **URGE III** stands among the strongest graphic works from this highly collectible series.*

*Executed as a **hand-pulled silkscreen print** on luxurious **Saunders Waterford 300gsm wove fine art paper**, the work measures **43 × 32 cm (16.9 × 12.6 inches) unframed**. Professionally presented in a museum-quality **1-inch frame**, the overall framed dimensions are approximately **50 × 39 cm (19.7 × 15.4 inches)**. Each example has been **hand signed by KAWS in graphite pencil ("KAWS…'20")** in the lower right margin and **hand numbered** from the highly desirable edition of only **250** in the lower left margin. Published by **KAWSONE** in 2020, the print exemplifies the extraordinary quality and craftsmanship collectors have come to expect from the artist's official editions.*

*Immediately recognizable, **URGE III** focuses on one of KAWS' most iconic visual motifs—the oversized gloved hands of his Companion figures. Rendered in vibrant shades of lime green, aqua, brilliant yellow, white and deep blue, the composition transforms a simple cropped gesture into an emotionally charged study of connection, vulnerability and human interaction. The tightly compressed arrangement creates remarkable visual tension while the bold palette and crisp silkscreen layers produce extraordinary depth and luminosity. Every line, crosshatch and contour demonstrates the precision for which KAWS' published editions have become internationally renowned.*

*Originally emerging from New York's graffiti movement before becoming one of the most recognizable figures in contemporary art, Brian Donnelly has built an extraordinary career that bridges fine art, design, fashion and global popular culture. His instantly recognizable visual language—defined by Companion figures, X-shaped eyes and cartoon-inspired forms—has become one of the most influential artistic vocabularies of the modern era. Today, his work resides in major museum collections worldwide and is sought after by many of the world's foremost private collectors.*

*Released during one of the strongest periods of KAWS' career, **URGE III** reflects the remarkable evolution of the artist's printmaking practice. Rather than relying solely upon familiar imagery, the composition distills the Companion figure into a tightly cropped abstraction, demonstrating KAWS' ability to communicate emotion through gesture, color and composition alone. The result is a work that feels simultaneously playful, sophisticated and unmistakably contemporary.*

*With an edition of only **250**, **URGE III** has become increasingly difficult to acquire on the secondary market. Official hand-signed KAWSONE editions from this period continue to enjoy exceptional international demand as collectors increasingly recognize the importance of KAWS' graphic works alongside his paintings and sculptures. Their museum-quality production, relatively limited editions and direct publication by the artist have established them as cornerstones within serious contemporary collections.*

*At APC ART, we believe **URGE III** represents one of the finest contemporary editions produced by KAWS. Elegant in its simplicity, masterfully executed and instantly recognizable, it perfectly encapsulates the visual language that has transformed Brian Donnelly into one of the defining artists of his generation. Whether acquired as a centerpiece within an established KAWS collection or as an introduction to one of contemporary art's most important living artists, **URGE III** is an exceptional museum-quality edition with enduring historical significance and outstanding long-term collecting appeal.*
