Summary
Together (Grey) is a 2018 open edition vinyl figure from KAWSONE, 11.5 inches tall, originally retailing at $310. The sculpt shows two Companion figures in a complete embrace — the composition KAWS introduced in 2016 as monumental wood sculptures at More Gallery and the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth before scaling it down to vinyl. The June 12, 2018 release came in three colorways: black, brown, and grey. The grey version is the monochrome treatment KAWS uses across much of his sculpture — a single flat grey over both figures, closest in feel to his large public works in concrete and bronze tones. As an open edition, the figures are unnumbered and were produced for the release window rather than to a fixed cap.
Why It Matters
The embrace in Together reframed the Companion from a lone, downcast character into a figure defined by connection, and the vinyl release put that shift into thousands of collections at once. The grey colorway carries particular weight because monochrome grey is KAWS's default register for monumental work — collectors who want the vinyl to echo the museum-scale sculptures usually choose grey. It sits in the named-sculpture line alongside Clean Slate, Share, and Along the Way as the emotional core of the series.
Collector Perspective
WorthPoint sold-listing data shows 37 sales for the grey Together — the most traded of the colorways we track — with a median of $350 against $310 retail and a range of $99 to $1,200. The latest recorded sale was March 2026, so the market remains active. Grey trades at a discount to black's $464.50 median, which is typical: black is treated as the reference colorway while grey offers the same sculpt at friendlier entry. Boxed, clean-paint examples account for the upper half of the range.
FAQ
What does Together depict?
Two of KAWS's Companion characters holding each other in a full embrace. The pose originated in 2016 as large-scale wood sculptures before the 2018 vinyl edition brought it to collectors.
What is the edition size of Together (Grey)?
No edition size was published — it is an unnumbered open edition. Production ran for the June 2018 KAWSONE release in black, brown, and grey.
Is Together (Grey) signed?
No, open edition figures are not individually signed. Authentic pieces carry molded copyright and production markings; a signature would only appear on separately documented hand-signed examples.
How do I know a Together figure is authentic?
Counterfeits circulate widely for this sculpt. Check the molded markings, box quality, and paint edges where the two figures meet, and buy from a trusted dealer who documents provenance — marketplace photos alone are not sufficient.
Why do collectors choose grey over black or brown?
Grey is the colorway closest to KAWS's monumental sculpture palette, so it reads most like a miniature of the museum-scale works. It also typically trades below the black version, making it the common entry point into the Together sculpt.
