Looking ahead to May 22–October 24, 2027!
Both iconic and iconoclastic, KAWS takes over NYBG with bold interventions that put the artist’s work front and center against the living canvas of the Garden, creating unexpected moments for long-time fans and new viewers alike. Set out to find awe-inspiring scenes both inside our galleries and across our 250 acres, and experience KAWS’ boundary-defying work within the beauty and complexity of the natural world.
KAWS is internationally renowned for his hard-edge paintings, larger-than-life sculptures, and distinctive cast of characters, such as COMPANION, that have become iconic symbols of his work. His whimsical and often monumental creations explore themes of consumerism, isolation, and the complexities of human relationships.
