About the Exhibition
KAWS: FAMILY explores the playful and poignant artistic universe created by KAWS, marking KAWS's first major museum exhibition on the West Coast. It traces the artist's output over the past three decades through its keen ability to connect to shared emotions and culture. From paintings, drawings, and sculptures to advertising interventions, product collaborations, and collectible toys, visitors will encounter the many creative expressions of KAWS's distinctive language using recurring characters and pop culture appropriations.
