SHARE in Rockefeller Center

Outside the Rockefeller Center is worth a new 18-foot bronze sculpture Share. You can see it until October 8, 2021. Share created by the famous street artist KAWS consists of two separate parts called Companion and BFF. 

The first part of the sculpture, companion, has an appearance, inspired by Mickey Mouse, with the company’s corporate pants and shoes.


The sign “x” over the eyes of a sculpture causes a sense of fear and isolation. It is even more enhanced with gray sculpture and lack of smile. On the contrary, BFF is a pink fluffy fake ELO, clamped in the hands of Companion – reminds viewers about the comforts that they are looking for in their daily life.
