今年香港地藝術三月有不少美國藝術家KAWS的作品展出。

最廣為人知的大約是停留在中環海濱的裝置藝術KAWS:HOLIDAY，停留在香港約十天，每日都不少市民前去’打卡’。

2019 HK Art Month, KAWS is probably one of the artists that people mentioned a lot.

KAWS: HOLIDAY has been installed in HK for about 10 days, thousands of people come and take photos with the art.

KAWS works are also shown in this year Art Basel, Perrotin Gallery and PMQ.

This year Sotheby’s presents a series of works by KAWS. Most of them are artworks related to the Simpsons.

剛剛落幕的巴塞爾藝術展、Perrotin畫廊、元創方PMQ等都有不少KAWS的作品展出。

蘇富比的春拍更是專門有一個廳用來展出KAWS的作品。 大部分都是之前KAWS受托根據美國卡通片辛普森一家而創作的作品。

拍出起拍價14倍以上的作品THE KAWS ALBUM，可以說是KAWS+SIMPSONS+THE BEATLES的結合。

最後成交價1.16億港幣。

THE KAWS ALBUM which can be seen as a combination of KAWS+SIMPSONS+THE BEATLES finally sold at $14.7M USD.

“真是一個奇怪的早晨…

我覺得我的作品應該賣這麼高嗎？….并不

我今天仍是在跟往常一樣的時間就到達我的工作室嗎？…是的

我明天還會這樣嗎？…是的

祝有愉快的一天！”
