by KAWS
Year: 2012-2013
Medium: Painted Cast Vinyl
Size: 9 1/4 × 8 1/4 × 11 in (each figure)
Edition of 500
A thoughtful addition to KAWS’ collectible sculpture series, Resting Place (Set Of 3) (2012–2013) comprises three painted cast vinyl figures, each measuring 9¼ × 8¼ × 11 inches, released in editions of 500. Stamped beneath the foot for authenticity, the set reflects the artist’s exploration of character, emotion, and contemporary iconography. Its cohesive presentation, limited production, and recognised provenance make it an appealing acquisition for collectors.
Resting Place (Set of 3) is a thoughtful sculptural work by KAWS that explores themes of reflection, vulnerability, and the emotional spaces people create around themselves. First introduced through KAWS’ studio and gallery practice, the work was produced as a fine art sculpture set rather than a street graffiti piece. Unlike KAWS’ early public interventions, this series required careful fabrication and controlled production, reflecting the artist’s evolution from street culture into contemporary fine art.
The three-part composition creates a quiet dialogue between form, character, and environment. KAWS uses his recognizable visual language to transform familiar figures into symbols of contemplation, connection, and human experience. The idea of a “resting place” suggests moments of pause, memory, and emotional recovery, while the simplified forms invite viewers to consider themes of isolation, comfort, and belonging.
Collectors recognize Resting Place (Set of 3) as a meaningful work within KAWS’ sculptural practice. Its limited availability, complete three-piece presentation, and connection to the artist’s evolving character-based works make it a desirable acquisition for serious contemporary art collectors.
At ArtLife Gallery, we view this set as an important expression of KAWS’ mature period. Related to Companion, Chum, BFF, and other emotionally driven sculptures, Resting Place reflects the artist’s ability to transform simple forms into powerful cultural and collectible statements.
