KAWS — Sculptures For Sale

KAWS Sculptures For Sale

KAWS sculptures span one of the broadest ranges of any contemporary artist — from small open-edition 8-inch resin figures available at retail price to monumental fibreglass and bronze works that have floated on Hong Kong Harbour, been suspended from South Korean mountain faces, and appeared as permanent public installations on four continents. Buy KAWS sculptures at Guy Hepner with full provenance documentation and expert guidance.

The Range of KAWS Sculpture

KAWS's sculptural practice defies simple categorisation. At one end of the scale: open-edition vinyl and resin figures produced in unlimited quantities, available at retail through authorised partners, priced for accessibility. At the other: unique bronze works and monumental fibreglass installations produced in editions of one to five, traded at the same price points as serious traditional sculpture. Between these poles lies the extraordinary breadth of the KAWS collectible market — limited edition figures, painted resin works, collaborative editions with major institutions, and a secondary market of extraordinary liquidity and global reach.

Key Sculpture Series

COMPANION

The Companion — KAWS's signature figure with X-marked eyes and crossed-bone limbs — is available in sculpture form across a wider size range than any other KAWS character. From 11-inch open editions to life-scale and beyond, the Companion in sculptural form is the foundation of KAWS's entire collectibles practice. Dissected Companion variants, which reveal exposed interior forms, are among the most art-historically resonant and collector-valued of all KAWS sculptural works.

BFF (Best Friend Forever)

Introduced in 2013, BFF is KAWS's bear-like companion character inspired by Snoopy. BFF editions in multiple colourways and materials have become among the most actively traded KAWS figures on the secondary market. The character has appeared in monumental scale as outdoor installations — inflatable and fibreglass versions in Taipei, Seoul, and other Asian cities — and as small-edition resin figures. Limited BFF editions, particularly in rare colourways, command strong secondary market premiums.

CHUM

CHUM, derived from Barney from The Flintstones, is one of KAWS's supporting cast of characters — a rounded, rotund figure with the characteristic X-eyes. CHUM sculptures have appeared in limited editions and as components of larger installations. They are less plentiful on the secondary market than Companion or BFF, making strong examples particularly sought.

HOLIDAY Series

The KAWS HOLIDAY series — which began with a Companion floating on Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong in 2018 — generated global media coverage and introduced KAWS's work to audiences with no prior awareness of the contemporary art market. Collectible-scale HOLIDAY figures in vibrant Red, Blue, and Orange colourways are among the most actively traded secondary market works. The HOLIDAY series continues to expand with new locations and colourways.

Bronze vs Resin: Understanding the Material Premium

Material is the single most significant driver of price differentiation within the KAWS sculpture market beyond edition size.

Open-edition resin/vinyl figures are produced without restriction and priced for accessibility. They form the base of the KAWS collecting pyramid.

Limited-edition resin figures — produced in numbered editions of 250, 100, 50, or fewer — carry meaningful premiums reflecting their scarcity. Condition and original packaging are paramount.

Fibreglass works occupy the upper tier of limited editions. Produced for gallery presentations and public installations, fibreglass works are typically editions of 3 to 10 and are traded at gallery and auction at significant prices.

Bronze editions command the highest premiums in the KAWS sculpture market, reflecting both material cost and the heightened sense of permanence that bronze carries for collectors from the traditional sculpture world. Bronze KAWS editions — produced in very small numbers, typically 3 to 5 — combine the artist's contemporary visual language with a material that places them firmly within the history of Western sculpture. A bronze KAWS Companion or BFF is not merely a collectible; it is a sculpture in the full art-historical sense.
