About the artwork

EPILOGUE,dated 2012,is documented as Screen print hand-embellished with spray paint,Posca markers,and gold leaf,and printed on 300 g/m² Italian hot-pressed fine art paper,measuring 61 × 46 cm. The corresponding main image shows a central circular emblem combining three portrait heads,ornamental black forms,red accents and playing-card-like letters on a distressed beige ground. The composition is organised through the relationship between the central motif and the surrounding field,with the support remaining visibly relevant to the final appearance. Colour,outline,printed information,spray marks,drips,repeated forms or handwritten interventions are described only where they can be seen in the supplied image. The material description indicates that the work was produced through screen print hand-embellished with spray paint,posca markers,and gold leaf,and printed on 300 g/m² italian hot-pressed fine art paper. This technique helps explain the distinction between mechanically transferred areas and direct manual intervention,where present. The image supplied is sufficient to describe the overall composition,palette and principal motifs,but it should not be treated as confirmation of details that require a close-up or reverse view. The supplied note records the work as signed,numbered. The manifest records the edition information as Ed. / 10. Any information concerning the back,labels,stamps,certificate,exact placement of a signature or the physical condition derives from the written documentation rather than from an assumed visual reading. No additional narrative elements have been introduced beyond the visible image and the manifest.

Expert opinion

From a cataloguing perspective,EPILOGUE is best positioned within printmaking and the translation of street-derived imagery into a controlled,editioned format. Its assessment should begin with the verified object type: Screen print hand-embellished with spray paint,Posca markers,and gold leaf,and printed on 300 g/m² Italian hot-pressed fine art paper,dated 2012,and a work documented as Ed. / 10. These factors determine how the work should be compared with other examples. An original drawing,hand-finished proof,prototype,unique variant or sculpture should not be evaluated according to the same criteria as a regular numbered edition,even when the imagery is closely related. The work’s relevance lies in the connection between its physical manufacture and the visual codes of urban culture. Where the support carries pre-existing information,where the surface includes aerosol,marker,drips or hand-applied colour,or where a printed image is individually modified,these characteristics contribute to its specificity. Edition size,numbering,signature and dating are therefore material catalogue points rather than promotional attributes. No certificate is confirmed by the manifest unless separately supplied. No separate provenance statement is included in the manifest. Condition should be assessed directly,with particular attention to paper edges,folds,abrasions,mounting,surface cracking,frame contact and any difference between the written dimensions and the object itself. No conclusion regarding price,auction performance,rarity or future value is made from the available documentation.

About the artist

Eddie Colla, born in Los Angeles in 1973, developed his artistic practice over two decades, incorporating photography, wheatpaste, collage, installation, and mixed media. His work often explores the intersection of street culture, contemporary art, and social commentary, frequently featuring photographic portraiture. Colla's imagery often addresses societal issues, presenting figures that convey resilience. His art has been exhibited in various contexts, from street interventions to galleries globally. Hugh Leeman is an artist and educator based in San Francisco, California. His work has been exhibited at institutions such as the de Young Museum and the Museum of Mexico City. Leeman's artistic focus includes the confluence of technology, mythology, and social power structures. He is known for his social art projects, including initiatives with unhoused individuals in San Francisco and clean water projects with indigenous tribes in the Philippines. His earlier work included large-scale graffiti portraits, and he later developed a more expressive style using oil and spray paint. D Young V (David Young V) is a San Francisco-based mixed media artist whose work frequently explores themes of a technological post-apocalyptic society. His artistic output often features intricate pen and ink drawings that are sometimes mistaken for stenciling, and he incorporates elements from Russian Constructivism, graffiti, propaganda, and science fiction. D Young V's work often includes large-scale installations and murals, both indoors and outdoors, which contribute to a narrative that encourages viewer interpretation.
