Since the late 90s, KAWS began creating a cast of characters that populate his work. Seen together, they become their own KAWS family. The exhibition takes its title and thematic jumping-off point from the artist’s sculpture, FAMILY (2021), which features four of KAWS’s characters posed as a nuclear family. As witnessed throughout the show, the relationships between the figures can be complex, familiar, and astonishingly heartfelt entryways into human emotions.
