A series of 27 disc paintings accentuate an entire hall within the museum, along with a collaborative project with famed fashion photographer David Sims. And of course, all visitors were greeted by a familiar figure – the 16-foot Companion, out on the museum’s plaza. KAWS’ “Down Time” exhibition on display.
