Good Intentions (2021) - The title sculpture of the Amsterdam Sculpture Biennale
Given the Sculpture Biennale in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, KAWS installed a meter-high sculpture directly on the forecourt of the historic museum. This sculpture in the style of KAWS's famous Companion and in a wooden look is called "Good Intentions". It is the large version of the edition of the same name that was released in August 2021.
The sculpture depicts two “companions”. However, one of the two is significantly smaller and is the size of a child. The smaller one seems to be hiding behind the larger companion, while both are facing and looking at the viewer. A reflection of human relationships between child and parent.
KAWS puts the two figures together from different parts, which are inspired by comic characters such as Mickey Mouse. Of course, they also have the typical X-eyes.
The figures were released in collaboration with the Karimoku manufacturer in an edition of 100 pieces and are made of walnut wood. Given the approximately three million subscribers that KAWS addresses on social media, the number of figures is extremely small and limited.
This scarcity is typical for KAWS, whose figures sell out within seconds and sell for many times more on the secondary market.
