American Artist KAWS to Receive Clio Award at Brooklyn Event in October
KAWS, who is known for a prolific body of work that straddles the worlds of art and design to include paintings, murals, graphic and product design, and large-scale sculptures, will accept the Clio Visionary Award at the 2023 Clio Creative Summit at Powerhouse Arts in Brooklyn, NY on Monday October 16th.
He'll also participate in a 30-minute Q&A with Mike Wente, vice president of creative marketing and brand design for Verizon.
The artist - whose latest collaboration with UNIQLO launches tomorrow (September 7th) and whose awe-inspiring large-scale sculpture installation recently landed in Indonesia’s largest Hindu temple complex, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is now the home of the KAWS:Holiday series-- is being recognized by the Clios for his numerous creative contributions to popular culture and memorable global brand collaborations that possess a sophisticated humour and reveal a thoughtful interplay with consumer products.
With their broad appeal, KAWS’ artworks are highly sought-after by collectors inside and outside of the art world, establishing him as a uniquely prominent artist and influence in today’s culture.
