The contemporary sculptor KAWS is the latest artist to have a go at reinventing an Old Master theme in dialogue with an exhibition. The Message, which has been placed in the courtyard of the Palazzo Strozzi in Florence to coincide with their Fra Angelico exhibition, shows two figures representing Kaws characters, Companion and Bff, in the guise of the Archangel Gabriel and Mary. Instead of looking at each other, the modern reinterpretation shows them instead looking at their phones.
