A Shared Space: KAWS, Karl Wirsum, and Tomoo Gokita

This exhibition presents new work by KAWS, alongside pieces from his collection by two artists, Chicago-based Karl Wirsum and Japan-based Tomoo Gokita. This is the first time KAWS will show his works in this manner.
The exhibition features 17 works by KAWS including his sculptures and shaped canvases referencing pop-culture characters and COMPANION (PASSING THROUGH), a sixteen-foot-tall sculpture in the Newcomb Pottery Garden that employs several of the artist’s signature motifs such as its allusion to childhood characters and its inflated skulls with gloved hands covering its face. Also comprising the show are 26 works by Karl Wirsum including drawings, paintings, and sculptures from 1968 to 2011, as well as 9 faceless portraits and one sculpture by Tomoo Gokita.
