Over the past 25 years, we at Juxtapoz have seen our scope grow from the underground scenes of pop surrealism, graffiti, comics and collectibles become a worldwide phenomenon. As the Winter 2019 issue sees us celebrate a quarter century of one of the leading independent publications in the world, we thought none other than NYC-based artist KAWS would best represent the evolution of Juxtapoz and the art world since 1994. Just in time for his newest solo show, GONE, now on view at Skarstedt Gallery in NYC, we sat down with KAWS in both Tokyo and Brooklyn over the course of 2018, as he prepped not only a new solo show, but massive public art projects around the world as well as an assortment of fashion and toy collaborations.
Also in the Winter 2019 issue:
—The evolution of REVOK, in his own words
—An extensive conversation with curator Donna De Salvo, on Andy Warhol's new retrospective at the Whitney Museum
—Tokyo's Haroshi on how skateboarding became his building block in life
—James Jarvis goes back to the absolute basics
—Muzae Sesay and the ever-changing landscape of Bay Area art
