Closing Party: The Way I See It: Selections from the KAWS Collection

Join us for a special closing party in celebration of the The Way I See It: Selections from the KAWS Collection's final days. Our galleries will be open late, from 6 - 8pm.

Spanning the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, The Way I See It showcases a diverse range of artists and interprets the term “drawing” broadly to include comics, commercial illustrations, and graffiti sketches. The exhibition challenges long-held hierarchies and radically expands our understanding of what constitutes a great work of art. It includes works by Abstract Expressionist Willem de Kooning, self-taught masters such as Martín Ramírez, Henry Darger, and Adolf Wölfli, and comic artists like R. Crumb. The Way I See It also highlights KAWS’s impressive holdings of works by artists Peter Saul, H.C. Westermann, Helen Rae, and Susan Te Kahurangi King, alongside archives of works underrepresented in the artistic canon, including those of renowned American graffiti writers such as DONDI, SERVE, and FUTURA 2000.

This event is free and open to the public.
