PRICE: on request
One of the more commanding large-scale KAWS prints from the Pace era. At 60 inches tall and produced in a limited edition of just 50, this work sits firmly in the “anchor print” category for serious collectors. Executed in 2017 and published by Pace Editions, Piranhas When You’re Sleeping features classic Companion iconography rendered at a scale that completely changes how the work lives on the wall. It’s bold, immediate, and unmistakably KAWS—yet increasingly difficult to find in excellent condition. Works from this period continue to stand apart for their ambition, craftsmanship, and scarcity. When examples surface, they tend to trade quietly in private sales rather than linger on the open market. A fantastic opportunity to acquire a statement KAWS from one of his strongest print cycles.
