KAWS - Gone (2019)
Original Screenprint, Limited Edition Catalogue & Custom Packaging
Art Trader Curator's Note:
Released in conjunction with KAWS's monumental "Companionship in the Age of Loneliness" exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV), Gone depicts the Companion carrying a limp BFF. It is one of KAWS's most emotionally resonant images, symbolizing loss, support, and exhaustion. Unlike his louder, brighter works, Gone offers a somber introspection that appeals to mature collectors.
Market Analysis: A Staple of Contemporary Collection
Instead of speculative volatility, Gone (2019) represents stability and liquidity in the KAWS market.
-
Established Market Demand: With an edition size of 750, this piece trades frequently at major auction houses (Phillips, Sotheby's) and platforms like StockX. It is considered a "staple piece"—a fundamental anchor for any KAWS collection.
-
The "Full Set" Premium: Many copies circulating in the secondary market are missing the original packaging or the accompanying book. A complete set (including the Wibalin wallet, envelope, and original box) commands a higher value and is easier to resell than the print alone.
-
Aesthetic Accessibility: Its smaller size (15 x 12 in) makes it versatile for display in modern interiors, unlike his larger, dominating sheets.
Broker Verified: Complete & Original
