To create the prints, the artist collaborated with [Pace Prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/william-monk), a fine arts publisher that's been around since the late 1960s. The News prints have a circular shape to them and like much of [Kaws' work](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arr-x-kaws-sesame-street), make use of [bold color combinations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memphis-miami) that instantly attract the eyes. Each print is a close-up of one of the artist's unique characters. All of the prints come with Kaws' signature and his 'X' motif, and only 100 copies are available to consumers. Those interested in seeing the prints for themselves can find them at Art Basel Miami Beach, where they will be displayed starting December 6th. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 97% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Graffiti](https://www.trendhunter.com/graffiti) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Circular Art Prints:** The use of circular shape in art prints presents an opportunity for artists to experiment with different visual compositions and break away from traditional rectangular formats. - **Bold Color Combinations:** Exploring bold color combinations in art prints provides an avenue for artists to evoke strong emotions and capture viewers' attention in a crowded art market. - **Limited Edition Prints:** Releasing limited edition prints with a limited number of copies offers an opportunity for artists to create scarcity and exclusivity, driving up demand and prices. ### Where This Applies - **Fine Arts Publishing:** Collaborating with fine arts publishers like Pace Prints allows artists to leverage their expertise in printing and distribution to reach a wider audience and expand their art sales. - **Art Exhibitions:** Presenting art prints at prestigious events like Art Basel Miami Beach provides artists with a platform to showcase their work to art enthusiasts, collectors, and potential buyers. - **Art Merchandise:** Creating art prints with unique characters and artist signatures opens opportunities to develop merchandise lines that cater to fans and collectors, extending the reach and monetization potential of an artist's brand. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pop Art Creative Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kaws-warhol-ut.md) - [Streetwear-Inspired Cashmere Blankets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kaws-2.md) - [Curated Pop Art Auctions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joopiter.md) - [Thailand-Inspired Wellness Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kaws-holiday-thailand.md) - [Art-Driven Knitwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kaws-x-uniqlo-winter-2025.md) - [Archival Pigment Art Print](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parallax.md) - [Streetwear-Inspired Watch Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audemars-piguet-x-kaws.md) - [Mascot-Centric Luxe Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/royal-oak-concept-tourbillon.md) - [Anime-Inspired Streetwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-x-kaikai-kiki.md)
