KAWS Bearbrick Dissected 400% Grey

The KAWS Bearbrick Dissected 400% in Grey is a collaborative collector object that brings Brian Donnelly's most intellectually significant and visually distinctive artistic intervention into the Medicom Toy Bearbrick format, the Dissected concept exposing the bear's interior anatomy and brain structure through KAWS's characteristic crosshatched X-marked skull imagery in a way that transforms the familiar and beloved toy into something that simultaneously reveals its own constructed nature and raises fundamental questions about the relationship between surface and interior, appearance and reality, that has been central to KAWS's artistic practice since its earliest documented expressions. Grey as the colorway gives the Dissected concept its most tonal and material-specific presentation, the uniform grey creating a surface that reads as sculptural and slightly architectural rather than coloristically driven, the monochromatic treatment directing all visual attention toward the Dissected concept's anatomical and structural revelations rather than any colorway drama. The 400% scale delivers the Dissected detail at a size that allows every element of KAWS's anatomical imagery to register with complete visual clarity and artistic precision. KAWS Bearbrick Dissected releases are among the most intellectually discussed and collector-significant pieces in the intersection of designer toy culture and contemporary art collecting, the Dissected concept's philosophical implications about artifice, interior life, and the constructed nature of cultural icons creating a figure that operates as genuine artistic commentary rather than simply a decorated toy. At three hundred and fifty dollars the grey Dissected 400% represents a significant collector investment in a piece that documents a specific and important chapter of KAWS's Bearbrick collaboration history with Medicom Toy in one of the series' most conceptually rich and visually distinctive expressions available across any of the Dissected figure's produced colorways and scales. The grey makes this the most sculpturally minded and form-focused expression of the Dissected concept. The KAWS Bearbrick Dissected 400% in Grey was released on March 26, 2010 with a retail price of $350.
