KAWS x Pace Prints for Art Basel Miami Beach

Since 2015, KAWS and Pace Prints have collaborated to release highly-anticipated limited edition prints to celebrate the art fair Art Basel Miami Beach. The prints—which sell out immediately in a tiered pricing system tied to the print’s edition number—capture the street artist’s iconic, vibrant aesthetic, mashing together deconstructed bits and pieces of childhood cartoons like Mickey Mouse, Snoopy, and SpongeBob—and KAWS’s own snake-like signature character, Bendy. The 2015 fair gave collectors the opportunity to snap up three prints depicting Snoopy titled No One’s Home, Stay Steady, and The Things That Comfort. In 2016, the duo released a playful dolphin print titled, Piranhas When You’re Sleeping. Finally, in 2017 and 2018, KAWS designed similar SpongeBob-themed portfolios that share a title, “THE NEWS.” Since their release at Art Basel Miami Beach, these print series have achieved a robust secondary market, though complete sets of each edition remain relatively rare.
