As a result of that show, in 2012 the Director's Council voted to acquire the painting Where the End Starts, 2011, which deconstructs KAWSBOB, a KAWS character based on SpongeBob SquarePants.Īlso in 2012, KAWS's Companion (Passing Through), 2010, was installed at the main entrance. The acquisition continues The Modern's relationship with KAWS that began in 2011 with a small-scale solo exhibition, part of a FOCUS series, the museum says. Featuring KAWS's iconic Companion characters, loosely based on Mickey Mouse, with Xs for eyes and skull-and-crossbone heads, the bronze sculpture stands 21 feet tall and overlooks the museum pond." The museum describes the work by saying in a release, "In Clean Slate, 2018, the central figure strides forward, embracing smaller, childlike figures in each arm, a gesture recognizable to anyone who has found themselves in the company of two tired toddlers. Titled Clean Slate, 2018, the piece will be on view to the public beginning December 9. The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth has made what it's calling a "monumental" acquisition: a new bronze sculpture by the artist KAWS.
