'KAWS: He Eats Alone' is a New Release this week!

Featured spreads are from KAWS: He Eats Alone, the highly-anticipated new release from Silvana and Qatar Museums. Featuring deluxe papers, dozens of gatefolds and iconic printed paper edges, this beautifully printed clothbound volume also features a stellar essay by the authoritative art historian and curator, Germano Celant. KAWS's figures, Celant writes, "are inflected in the world through a system of global communication and distribution. They are delicate, original forms that joyously graft onto one another in every earthly context. They bear witness to the cosmopolitan spirit of an art 'without place,' that is able to convey an imaginary universe always aware of having to negotiate its presence with the already existing market of signs. This is an acknowledgment of the iconic materials in circulation that have led us to a nomadic, and now virtual, culture. KAWS crystallizes a lot of them, uprooting them from their mass profitability and, through their individuality, making them alternative, in keeping with a human perspective connected to the feelings of suffering and pain, boredom and sadness, which enable us to resist mass flattening and annihilation."
