Kidrobot debuts ‘Elvis’ Dunny in partnership with The Andy Warhol collection

Posted on by

Kidrobot, producer of limited-edition art toys, signature apparel and lifestyle accessories, and The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts have announced the newest addition to the Kidrobot x Andy Warhol collection.

The Andy Warhol 20-Inch “Elvis” Dunny Sculpture pays homage to perhaps the most famous of Warhol’s subjects, Elvis Presley, who would have celebrated his 87th birthday this January. Warhol created a series of works in the early 1960s based on an image of Elvis from a publicity still for the movie Flaming Star, one of Presley’s most popular Western films.

The extremely limited edition is capped at 15 pieces worldwide and is available exclusively at Kidrobot.com.

Each “Elvis” Dunny sculpture is 20 inches tall, made of premium fiberglass with no articulation and is hand-painted in North America using high-quality paint for enhanced clarity and long-lasting quality. Each sculpture comes packaged in a premium Kidrobot x Andy Warhol wooden crate with a Certificate of Authenticity, and is priced at $2500 USD.
