PEZArts:

Limited Edition Art Toy by JF Krichbaum

PEZ Arts brings together the iconic world of PEZ dispensers and contemporary art, creating a unique collectible for art lovers and PEZ fans alike. In this exclusive new line, both the dispenser figure and the candy wrappers are designed by a contemporary
artist.

JF Krichbaum "Kid Guard" as PEZ Dispenser

The series launches with a design from the “Kid Guard” collection by Vienna-based artist JF Krichbaum. This limited-edition PEZ art toy is restricted to just 5,000 pieces worldwide, making it a highly sought-after collector’s item. A small dispenser that inspires a big passion for collecting—transforming PEZ into a true art toy collectible.

Meet the Artist

  • In his “Kid Guard” series, JF Krichbaum creates imaginative visual worlds that speak to
    the child within the adult.

  • The works evoke dreamlike memories of childhood and are inhabited by fantastical creatures known as the “Kid Guards.” These figures are both childlike guardians and protectors of childlike wonder.

  • Reimagined as PEZ dispenser heads, they gain an additional playful and sculptural
    dimension—bridging the gap between designer toys and contemporary art.

Every PEZ Arts set is created with exceptional attention to detail. The packaging, designed in close collaboration with the artist, reflects the artistic concept behind the piece. Each set is carefully assembled by hand at the PEZ factory and individually numbered, enhancing its value as a limited-edition collectible.
