Art Trader Curator's Note:
Art Trader is privileged to offer this rare, complete installation of KAWS’s "SEEING" (Blue) from the 2018 series. This is widely regarded as one of the most substantial table-top editions ever produced by the artist. Weighing in at a combined 10kg (approx. 22 lbs), this work combines a precision-engineered Alloy figure with a fragile, high-gloss Ceramic Pedestal. It is a heavy, architectural statement piece that commands space.
Collector's Focus: Technical Mastery & Scarcity
-
The "Pedestal" Premium: Unlike standalone figures, this edition was designed with its own architectural base (Pedestal). Finding a set where both the Alloy figure and the Ceramic base are matching and intact is becoming increasingly difficult in the secondary market.
-
Material Complexity: The fusion of Alloy (Metal) for the figure and Ceramic for the base creates a unique tactile contrast. This mix of materials demonstrates a high level of production complexity, distinguishing it from standard vinyl releases.
-
Signature Status: Hand-signed and numbered. With only 250 produced worldwide, this blue edition represents the iconic "BFF" character in its most recognized and celebrated colorway.
Broker Verified: Integrity & Electronics
Due to the inclusion of ceramic components, this piece is high-risk for shipping damage. Art Trader has performed a critical inspection:
-
Ceramic Pedestal Check: Mint/Crack-Free. We have inspected the 4kg ceramic base under UV light to ensure there are no hairline fractures, chips, or restoration attempts—common issues with this specific release.
-
Alloy Figure Condition: Pristine. The 6kg figure shows no signs of oxidation or handling marks. The "BFF" texture remains sharp.
-
LED Systems: Functional. The eyes illuminate instantly with a stable, cool-blue glow, powered correctly through the integrated system.
