Such a rare and epic juxtaposition.

The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts (PAFA) is currently hosting an exhibition of works by KAWS until January 5 which you can preview here. The show features paintings and sculptures large and small, all in the artist's signature style. ArrestedMotion posted this installation view to Instagram which shows the truly epic way that PAFA has chosen to display KAWS' work. As if including the artist in their 200-year-old institution wasn't major enough, they have allowed his sculptures to infiltrate the space, placing Chum and various other sculptures next to and behind classic sculptures from their collection. The juxtaposition is amazing and it is definitely not something many places would ever consider doing. 

This is definitely not an exhibition you want to miss. For more information check out the PAFA x KAWS exhibition page.
