The installation stages a surprising and constructive dialogue between the contemporary giant--famed for his cartoon- and graffiti-inspired sculptures, paintings and collectible toys--and the Strozzi's concurrent exhibition on Italian Renaissance-era painter Fra Angelico. Reworking the theme of the Annunciation--the subject of Fra Angelico's most celebrated painting--through a monumental installation, KAWS offers an unprecedented encounter between eras, forms and visions, bridging traditional iconography from Western visual culture with the immediacy and hyper-connection of contemporary life. In his work, aptly titled \u003ci\u003eThe Message\u003c\/i\u003e, the mobile phone figures as the central element of the scene. KAWS imbues this object of prolific daily use with a sacred quality, likening it to the miraculous message delivered by angel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 12 x 11.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 26, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44776667021447,"sku":"9791254633243","price":37.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/TVn5PFFWpu9791254633243.webp?v=1780487409","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/kaws-hardcover","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
