KAWS:HOLIDAY Shanghai lit up the iconic North Bund dock with a large-scale inflatable installation featuring the character COMPANION on its back, cradling the moon while gazing up at the night sky. Now, art lovers can pick up a scaled-down version for their home in the form of the “KAWS BIG MOON” lamp.
Presented by AllRightsReserved, the “KAWS BIG MOON” lamp stands eight inches tall, replicating the original COMPANION installation in a vinyl art toy that doubles as a mood light. Presenting a reimagined take on the Shanghai installation, it depicts the character in a more exaggerated pose with the moon squashing them under an all-encompassing moon.
This inventive twist on the KAWS:HOLIDAY Shanghai installation is the latest addition to a series that pays homage to the legacy of KAWS, the fine art master who experiments with designs aimed at commercial appeal. A popular figure in popular culture, KAWS has an expanding collection of merchandise and limited edition collectibles that complement large installations in thriving cities.
The “KAWS BIG MOON” lamp is expected to replicate the previous clamor for KAWS collectibles with another highly sought-after limited edition run that combines humor and style. As with earlier releases from the artist, you can expect to join a waiting list if you’re considering adding the “KAWS BIG MOON” lamp to your collection, with many of his previous collectibles and limited editions fetching high prices on the resale market.
