About the artwork

Untitled,dated 2019,is documented as double drawing in black marker on two pages of thick cream-colored paper,measuring 22 × 28 cm. The corresponding main image shows two stacked black graffiti tags on a pale sheet,framed by a dark border. 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 double drawing in black marker on two pages of thick cream-colored 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 main image alone does not permit a definitive confirmation of signature,date or reverse-side inscriptions. No edition number is recorded in the manifest. 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,Untitled is best positioned within drawing and graffiti-writing,where line,lettering and character construction remain central. Its assessment should begin with the verified object type: double drawing in black marker on two pages of thick cream-colored paper,dated 2019,and an original work or unique object,with no edition statement recorded in the supplied manifest. 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

Lin Felton aka Quik was born in 1958 in Queens, New York. He began tagging on Queens walls at the age of 10. It wasn't long before he was covering the grayness of the city's trains with his name and recognizable graffiti. An active member of the RTW Crew, he has worked alongside the likes of Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring and Futura. After graduating from Parsons School of Design, Quik was spotted by Dutch art dealer Yaki Kornblit, who encouraged him to move to Europe, where he would become a recognized artist. His work has become a fixture on the international scene, and has been incorporated into prestigious collections. His work can be found in the collections of the Museum of the City of New York, the Studio Museum of Harlem in New York, the Becht Collection, the Martin Visser Collection and the Groninger Museum in the Netherlands.
