These are spray can pillows which were originally put on display during the “Tools of the Trade†Art Exhibition at the Bape Gallery in 2002. It wasn't until very recently that they were put out for sale by Stash, a famous New York-based street artist.
The soft spray can replica pillows, which measure 30" tall and 10" in diameter, come in red, aqua and purple tops and sell for $100 each.
I am very curious about these product because I have heard about Stash before....
