From the "Man's best friend" portfolio - Screenprint in black and white, on Saunders Waterford High White paper - Published by Pace Prints, New York. // Man's Best Friend #9 by KAWS is a screenprint from the 2016 Man's Best Friend portfolio, characterized by its bold black-and-white palette. The artwork features abstracted line work that intertwines and overlaps, creating a dense and dynamic composition reminiscent of graffiti and cartoon-inspired forms. Printed on Saunders Waterford High White paper, the high contrast of black and white amplifies the fluid, almost gestural quality of the lines, evoking both movement and ambiguity. This piece reflects KAWS’s interest in reinterpreting familiar visual languages while inviting viewers to engage with abstract forms and personal associations.

What is appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
