Vinyl Figure. Unsigned; From an unknown edition. Undercover Bear (White) by KAWS, released in 2009, is a compact vinyl figure that blends softness with subversion. Featuring a stylized teddy bear cradling a smaller figure in its lap, both characters share KAWS’s signature minimal facial features—flat, barred eyes replacing expressions. Rendered in a glossy, monochrome white, the figure references themes of comfort, childhood, and anonymity. Created in collaboration with the Japanese streetwear brand Undercover, this piece reflects KAWS’s ongoing interest in merging designer toys, fashion culture, and contemporary art into emotionally resonant collectible forms.

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.
