Publisher Phaidon's coffee table book "KAWS + Warhol" presents a never-before-seen look at the striking thematic parallels between KAWS and Andy Warhol, two of the most iconic artists of our time.
As celebrated artists who draw from popular culture, KAWS and Andy Warhol known for creating art that is accessible beyond the confines of the traditional art world. While the works of both artists often appear festive and joyful at first glance, beneath the surface they share some dark similarities: tragedy as spectacle and meditations on death and dying. When these two bold bodies of work are juxtaposed, that connection becomes explicit and powerful.
This art book highlights the artistic intersection of KAWS and Warhol, with their take on death and disaster, advertising, nostalgia, abstraction, skulls and self-portraits. It accompanies a major exhibition at the Andy Warhol Museum that will travel internationally and presents some of the most striking and analogous works by two of the most popular artists of all time.
