KAWS - Untitled (MOCAD Benefit), 2019
Signed Screenprint | Edition of 200 | Museum Provenance
Art Trader Curator's Note:
Created exclusively to benefit the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit (MOCAD), this rare screenprint offers an intimate glimpse into KAWS's abstract visual language. Unlike his larger, imposing works, this piece is a "cabinet gem"—designed for close-up viewing. The composition explodes with vibrant, saturated colors on heavy stock paper, distilling the energy of a massive canvas into a compact, jewel-like format.
Why Collect This Piece? (Market & Scarcity)
-
Extreme Rarity (Edition of 200): With only 200 copies in existence, this is one of the scarcest prints KAWS has released in recent years. For comparison, standard releases often run from 500 to 1,000 editions. Holding a "low edition" piece provides a stronger buffer against market saturation.
-
Institutional Provenance: Works attached to museum fundraisers (MOCAD) carry a prestigious narrative. It signals that the artwork was born from a philanthropic collaboration within the high-art establishment, adding a layer of historical legitimacy.
-
The "Entry" Blue-Chip: For collectors looking to acquire a hand-signed KAWS work without the price tag of large-format prints, this MOCAD edition represents the perfect entry point. It is accessible yet maintains the investment-grade attribute of being strictly limited and signed.
Broker Verified: Provenance & Condition
Due to its smaller size and specific paper type, verifying the signature and paper quality is crucial.
-
Condition: Mint. The heavy stock paper creates a rigid, premium feel, and we check corners for any "softness" or bends.
-
Signature: Hand-signed and dated by KAWS in ink on the lower right. (Broker Note: The signature on these MOCAD prints is often tighter and more precise due to the scale).
-
Packaging: Includes the original gallery box/packaging as issued by MOCAD.

Print Quality: Screenprint in colors on heavy stock paper, ensuring deep color saturation.
