The KAWS Brooklyn Museum WHAT PARTY T-shirt White is a short-sleeved cotton t-shirt in White featuring a screen printed graphic on the front. KAWS’ signature character Chum, rendered in pink with animation-style details, adorns the front of the tee, with the Brooklyn Museum logo below in blue. Additional branding is printed on the left sleeve and inner collar.
KAWS is a New York-based artist known for his characters that play on familiar animated archetypes. KAWS’ Chum, known for his minimal tufted appearance, has appeared in several color iterations and as a toy. In 2021, the Brooklyn Museum presented a retrospective of KAWS’ work, which also featured limited edition shirts designed by the artist.
Our experts feel that the best feature of the WHAT PARTY T-Shirt is its artwork, which shows Chum in an uncommon, grainy illustrative style. The KAWS Brooklyn Museum WHAT PARTY T-shirt White released on February 26, 2021, and retailed at $35.
