KAWS + Warhol explores the visual and thematic connections between KAWS and Andy Warhol, two artists known for bringing pop culture into contemporary art. Inside, the book places their works side by side, focusing on shared themes such as advertising, nostalgia, abstraction, skulls, self-portraiture, death, and disaster. Published to accompany the major exhibition at The Andy Warhol Museum, it offers a bold look at how both artists turn familiar images into powerful reflections on fame, culture, and modern life.

Foreword by Patrick Moore, with an interview by Laurie Simmons and essays by Thomas Crow and Marianne Dobner

A never-before-seen look at the striking thematic parallels between KAWS and Andy Warhol, two of the most iconic artists of our time

As celebrated artists that draw from popular culture, KAWS and Andy Warhol are known for creating art that is approachable beyond the confines of the traditional art world. While at first glance, both artists’ works often appear celebratory and joyful, they share a number of dark common threads beneath the surface: tragedy as spectacle and meditations on death and dying. When these two bold bodies of work are juxtaposed, that connection is made explicit and powerful.

This book highlights the artistic intersection of KAWS and Warhol, featuring their takes on death and disaster, advertising, nostalgia, abstraction, skulls, and self-portraiture. Accompanying a major exhibition at The Andy Warhol Museum that will travel internationally, it presents some of the most standout and analogous works from two of the most popular artists of all time.
