This richly illustrated volume offers the first close look at the artist KAWS’s personal collection—a spectacular trove that includes more than four thousand works by some seven hundred artists, including those who are self-taught and neurodivergent, comic book creators, graffiti writers, illustrators, and visionaries who use pencil and paper to offer an expanded definition of artistic genius. Together, this incredible selection of over 350 artworks—illuminated by text contributions from Laura Hoptman, KAWS, Valérie Rousseau, and Nicole Rudick—challenges long-held hierarchies and opens a portal to a diverse, scintillating, and nuanced universe of human creativity.
