KAWS Undercover Bear Vinyl FigureWhite

Product Description

The KAWS Undercover Bear Vinyl Figure in White is the luminous and most graphically open counterpart to the black version of this celebrated two-way collaborative collector object, the white resin creating a completely different and equally compelling visual experience of the same bear character design through the way white surfaces catch, reflect, and distribute light across the figure's sculptural form rather than absorbing it into the deep darkness of the black alternative. White vinyl on the Undercover Bear allows every sculptural detail, the KAWS crosshatch X-marks, the bear's dimensional face structure, and the figure's physical weight and form to register with maximum visual precision and architectural clarity, the bright surface revealing the figure's three-dimensional construction quality in a way that the black version's more mysterious and light-absorbing character cannot achieve with the same material openness and formal transparency. The Undercover collaboration's creative depth and Jun Takahashi's design philosophy sit within the white figure's context with a specific elegance and visual refinement that suits the white resin's own cool and slightly precious material character.

KAWS Undercover Bear white figures create the most complete collector pairing when acquired alongside the black version, the two colorways together documenting the same collaborative design across the full tonal spectrum from maximum darkness to maximum brightness in a way that reveals how profoundly colorway choice shapes the emotional and aesthetic experience of encountering the same sculptural form at different ends of the value scale. At one hundred and thirty-five dollars the white Undercover Bear vinyl figure is an accessible collector investment in a historically significant collaboration that documents the creative relationship between KAWS and one of the most respected and culturally specific independent fashion designers working in any market globally during the period of the figure's production. The white colorway gives this collaborative bear its most materially luminous and formally revealing expression.

The KAWS Undercover Bear Vinyl Figure in White was released on August 28, 2009 with a retail price of $135.
