KAWS — Blame Game (Complete 10-Print Series, 2015)

Created in 2015, KAWS’ Blame Game stands among the artist’s most sought-after graphic projects: a tightly conceived corpus of ten screenprints that distills his New York-bred visual language—flat, high-chroma fields, crisp contours, and the unmistakable X-eyed figures—into a museum-grade edition format. Emerging from graffiti and urban culture yet fully conversant with the mechanics of advertising and Pop iconography, KAWS (b. 1974) has built a global vocabulary that moves fluently between high art and mass culture, a position reinforced by major institutional presentations including the Brooklyn Museum, Yorkshire Sculpture Park, and the National Gallery of Victoria.

Offered here as the complete 10-print set, Blame Game carries particular collecting weight: full series groupings are notably scarce on the secondary market and, in print portfolios, completeness often becomes the decisive factor for long-term desirability. The edition’s scale and graphic impact translate exceptionally well in contemporary interiors while remaining anchored in the broader narrative of post-street, post-Pop image-making. From an investment-aware standpoint, demand for KAWS editions has remained structurally strong at international auction—recent sell-through performance has been reported near 79.7% over the last three years—and the artist’s print market has demonstrated the capacity for outsized results, with a KAWS print exceeding the $2M mark at Sotheby’s (2019). As a complete set, Blame Game offers both cultural relevance and the rarity premium that sophisticated collectors typically prioritize.
