Art Trader Curator's Note:
KAWS continues his mastery of recontextualizing pop culture icons with the 2025 release of Oscar (Sesame Street). This piece represents the ultimate artistic irony: transforming the world’s most famous "trash" dweller into a coveted, high-value asset. By merging the gritty texture of Oscar’s trash can with the clean, iconic "XX" branding, KAWS has created a piece that is as much a commentary on value as it is a collectible.
Collector's Analysis: Why Oscar?
-
Trash into Treasure: In the art market, irony drives value. Owning a high-end sculpture of a character who famously loves trash is a sophisticated nod to the nature of modern collecting. It is a conversation piece that transcends simple nostalgia.
-
Sculptural Complexity: Unlike standard standing figures, the Oscar mould requires complex tooling to render the "trash can" base and the character's fur texture. This level of detail sets it apart from flatter, simpler vinyl releases.
-
The 2025 Standard (NFC): Provenance is no longer a guessing game. This asset is secured by a Certified NFC Chip, ensuring that your investment is digitally locked and verifiable instantly.
Broker Verified: Quality & Tech

-
Digital Handshake: VERIFIED. The NFC chip acts as a permanent digital passport. We have scanned this unit, and it registers immediately on the official authentication network.
-
Vinyl Texture: Mint. Oscar's "fur" texture is prone to molding errors. Our team has inspected the surface for consistency—the casting is sharp, and the green paint application is vibrant and uniform.
-
Packaging: Collector Grade. Ships in the original 2025 release box, protected by our internal logistics team.
