À propos de l'œuvre
“SSI Picture Disc” by Shepard FAIREY dit OBEY (us) is documented as DOUBLE-SIDED SCREEN PRINTING ON A 33T VINYL RECORD FROM 2011. It measures 30 × 30 cm. The work is a circular picture disc contained in its original clear plastic sleeve. Its red,black,cream and gold design is organized around a central geometric emblem,ornamental lettering and the words “S.S.I.” and “MEA CULPA.” The description follows the supplied main image and is limited to elements that are visible at that scale; it does not assume the presence of reverse inscriptions,labels,certificates or other details unless these are separately recorded in the documentation.
The supplied note records a hand signature or signed component. The catalogue records the work as dating from 2011. The edition information supplied is: édition de 500 signée et numérotée à la main par l'artiste.. The support and technique are particularly important to the object’s reading. Printed areas,marker lines,aerosol passages,collage elements,paint layers,cut edges or three-dimensional components remain visually distinct and allow the construction of the image to be understood. Where the record mentions hand-finishing,signing,numbering or an artist’s proof,these elements should be checked against the corresponding detail photographs during final physical cataloguing. Condition comments are restricted to the supplied note and visible evidence; normal variations associated with handmade,recycled or previously used supports should not automatically be described as damage without direct examination.
Avis de l'expert
From a cataloguing perspective,“SSI Picture Disc” occupies a position within Printmaking and Urban Art. The work’s relevance lies primarily in the relationship between its recorded date,2011,its medium—DOUBLE-SIDED SCREEN PRINTING ON A 33T VINYL RECORD FROM 2011—and the degree of manual intervention visible in the object. The market category should not be determined by the artist’s name alone: the support,edition structure,signature,date,provenance and condition all materially affect how the work should be compared with other examples.
The recorded edition information—édition de 500 signée et numérotée à la main par l'artiste.—is central to classification. Numbering,signature,proof status and any hand-finished variations should be verified together,because these details distinguish the present example from the standard edition. The supplied record does not establish a separate certificate unless otherwise noted in the original documentation. Any condition assessment should consider the particular support,including deckled paper,recycled cardboard,used currency,vinyl,skateboard wood or unstretched canvas,since these materials may carry intentional or inherent surface characteristics. For an informed assessment,the image should be examined alongside close views of the signature,numbering,reverse inscriptions,publisher or gallery marks and any certificate. The available material is sufficient for a cautious catalogue positioning,but it does not provide verified auction comparisons,institutional exhibition history or market-performance data. No estimate,investment conclusion or claim of rarity is therefore made. The work is best evaluated as a documented object within its specific medium and production context,with emphasis on authenticity,completeness and physical condition.
