$100,000 KAWS Work Stolen From Complex Office

Someone stole an expensive KAWS painting that was hanging in the hallways of Marc Ecko’s offices. The thief signed in as “Nat Heller,” entered the security code to get to the second floor, smashed the fiberglass, rolled up the work into a tube and took off on 23rd street, but not before getting snapped by the elevator camera with loot in hand.

Marc Ecko shopazine, Complex, created quite a stir when they released their April/May issue that featured a CGI rendering of Kanye West on the cover, transforming the rapper from a black man into a silver-skinned cyborg. But he wasn’t the only one getting the technological treatment, it looks like their retouchers did a bunch of work on cover girl Kim Kardashian too. We spotted this image (left) of the talentless starlet this morning in their “web exclusive” gallery, but by afternoon she was looking recognizably altered (right) and then removed from the site completely. UPDATE: Kim responds on her blog.
