In his monumental sculptures the figure grows to many metres tall and shifts from comic to tender, often shown hiding its face or slumped in thought, an everyman caught in a private moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere the photograph catches a towering dark Companion in a wooded park, hands pressed over its eyes, the grey sky and bare branches deepening the mood. The KAWS name runs large at upper left above a round YSP mark and a line of small type with the exhibition dates and the Yorkshire Sculpture Park name. The description says the sheet was bought at a sculpture museum in the United Kingdom, which fits the KAWS exhibition held there in 2016.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe poster is unsigned and not editioned, as the description states. It is described as new, opened once to check the contents, and kept flat as a sheet without ever being framed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e KAWS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Exhibition poster A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Offset print\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unsigned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSheet:\u003c\/strong\u003e A1, 84 x 59.4 cm (33.1 x 23.4 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unframed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e New, opened once\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescribed as new, opened once to check the contents.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKept flat as a sheet since purchase, never framed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eS (unused, as new)\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/japanese-condition-ranks-explained\"\u003eJapanese condition ranks, explained\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDetails are given as the description states them.
