Ο KAWS διαθέτει αντίγραφα έργων του για καλό σκοπό

Τις επόμενες ημέρες, ο KAWS, ο καλλιτέχνης που έχει πλέον πάρει διαστάσεις φαινομένου στην διεθνή αγορά έργων τέχνης, ξεκινά τη διάθεση περιορισμένου αριθμού αντιγράφων έργων του, τα έσοδα από τα οποία θα πηγαίνουν κάθε φορά σε διαφορετική οργάνωση αγαθοεργιών.

Στους αγοραστές τους δίνεται η ευκαιρία να αποκτήσουν έργο του KAWS σε πολύ χαμηλή τιμή και, ταυτόχρονα, να κάνουν μια καλή πράξη.

I’m happy to announce that over the next few days I will be releasing a few small editions of shaped prints to support different charities. This print pictured will support @freeartsnyc programming. Many of the vulnerable children they serve are staying in crowded shelters with little access to resources needed to stay inspired and resilient. Please consider supporting the organization, via a donation on their website or by purchasing a print, to raise money for supplies, activity kits, and virtual mentoring for their youth.
 Each signed and numbered print, from an edition of 25 plus 5 artist proofs, is approximately 10.5 inches tall x 8 inches wide and available for $1200 (shipping included). All profits will be donated to Free Arts NYC. To request purchase, email  PRINTS@KAWS.COM with FREEARTSNYC in the subject line and include your full name, shipping address, and phone number. 25 people will be selected to purchase the print and will be contacted with payment instructions. If you are interested in being placed in line to buy a print from the soon-to-be announced editions for other charities, please mention that in your email. All prints will be packed and shipped once stay-at-home orders are lifted in NYC. THANK YOU! #KAWS

Το πρώτο από αυτά είναι αντίγραφο μιας σιλουέτας από το «Peanuts», για την ακρίβεια του Snoopy.

Είκοσι πέντε αντίτυπα αυτού του έργου, υπογεγραμμένα και αριθμημένα από τον καλλιτέχνη, θα διατεθούν στην τιμή των 1.200 δολαρίων το ένα και το σύνολο των εσόδων θα δοθεί στη μη κυβερνητική οργάνωση Free Arts NYC, η οποία προσφέρει προγράμματα και διδασκαλία τέχνης σε νέους στους οποίους το σύστημα δεν δίνει ίσες ευκαιρίες.

«Πολλά από τα ευάλωτα παιδιά τα οποία φροντίζουν ζουν σε καταλύματα όπου συνωστίζονται πολλοί, με μικρή πρόσβαση σε βοηθήματα που χρειάζονται για να παραμείνουν εμπνευσμένα και ανθεκτικά» έγραψε ο Brian Donnelly -αυτό είναι το όνομά του- στον λογαριασμό του στο Instagram.

«Παρακαλώ, εξετάστε το ενδεχόμενο να στηρίξετε την οργάνωση μέσω δωρεάς στον ιστότοπό της ή με την αγορά ενός αντιγράφου, ώστε να συγκεντρωθούν χρήματα για προμήθειες, kit δραστηριοτήτων και εικονική διδασκαλία αυτών των νέων. Είκοσι πέντε άτομα έχουν τη δυνατότητα να αγοράσουν το αντίγραφο.

Οι ενδιαφερόμενοι ας στείλουν μήνυμα ηλεκτρονικού ταχυδρομείου στη διεύθυνση @kaws.com, αναγράφοντας «FREEARTSNYC» στο πεδίο του θέματος. Σύντομα θα ανακοινωθούν μελλοντικές εκδόσεις έργων για καλούς σκοπούς».

Για όσους επιθυμούν να αποκτήσουν έργο KAWS, η ευκαιρία είναι μεγάλη.

Πέρυσι, τα μοναδικά αντίγραφα έργων του συνήθως έπιαναν 18.723 δολάρια το ένα, κατά μέσον όρο, στις δημοπρασίες. Φέτος, προς ώρας πιάνουν κατά μέσον όρο 14.000 δολάρια το ένα.
