American graffiti artist and designer KAWS is best known for his vandalised cartoons and the now-iconic Companion figure.

This signature Pop Art-inspired Companion character a Mickey Mouse-like figure with crossed-out eyes is now KAWS’ greatest critical and commercial success. Collaborating with fashion juggernauts like Nike and Dior Homme, Companion is now a worldwide phenomenon that has taken over the world.

Since then, KAWS continued to develop his cartoonesque universe, appropriating and parodying popular cartoons through his signature x-crossed eyes and skull motifs. Two of these bodies of works, Kurfs and Kimpsons, respectively recasting The Smurfs and The Simpsons, have become some of KAWS’ most successful works at auction, fetching sums well above the million-pound threshold.
