Blame Game Portfolio

Created in 2014, the Blame Game Portfolio represents a masterful exploration of KAWS's signature visual language through the refined medium of screenprinting. This set of ten screenprints on Saunders Waterford High White paper showcases the artist's ability to distill his cartoon-influenced vocabulary into compositions of considerable graphic power and emotional resonance. Each print measures 35 by 23 inches and bears the artist's signature, establishing authenticity within Edition 3 of 100. The portfolio demonstrates KAWS's characteristic deployment of simplified forms, elongated figures, and expressive linework that have become hallmarks of his practice across painting, sculpture, and works on paper. The technical precision of the screenprinting process elevates these compositions, rendering them with a clarity and vibrancy that captures the playful yet melancholic sensibility underlying the artist's oeuvre. The Blame Game Portfolio occupies a pivotal moment in KAWS's career trajectory, arriving at a time when his work was gaining substantial traction among serious collectors and institutions. The portfolio format allows for a comprehensive meditation on recurring themes within his practice, presenting variations and permutations of his visual motifs that reward sustained viewing. For collectors seeking significant examples of the artist's work on paper, this complete ten-print set represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a substantial body of work that encapsulates the conceptual and aesthetic concerns that have defined KAWS's artistic vision and cemented his position as a major figure in contemporary art.
