Robert Moore — “Black to the Future.”**\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**If you are a collector of *B. Robert Moore’s* work, you most likely already realize what you are looking at.**\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*”Black to the Future” is one of, if not **the most sought after edition** from B. Moore.*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Robert B. Moore has redefined the contemporary art landscape, as we know it; within the first few years of his career he has multiple major metropolitan museum exhibitions under his belt, countless sold out solo as well as group shows and a collector base that that includes notable collectors from the arts, entertainment and professional sports.**\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**There are a few editions that are truly impossibly to locate; *”Black to the Future”* is one of these editions.**\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**This work is numbered 2 from the edition of only 50 works, released in 2021 on the occasion of black history month, this work is a true grail.**\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*The work has never been framed and is in absolutely flawless condition.*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*The work will be accompanied by the original certificate of authenticity as issued by the publisher, hand signed by **B.

The work is **hand signed** by the artist in black ink (lower right), and **hand numbered 2\/50** (lower left inside the publisher’s blind stamp). Published by **1xRUN** in 2020, this edition was limited to **only 50 works**, all of which sold out instantly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Black to the Future” stands as one of Moore’s most coveted editions — a visual declaration of empowerment, futurism, and identity. With bold design elements referencing pop culture and retro iconography, the piece challenges representation in mainstream media and repositions the Black figure as the hero of the future. The die-cut silhouette intensifies the work’s dimensionality, making it visually striking when framed and displayed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eB. Robert Moore has become one of the fastest-rising voices in contemporary art — transitioning from street-level anonymity into museum recognition in just a few short years. His first major **museum exhibition at the Des Moines Art Center** was achieved remarkably early in his career — a milestone that takes many artists decades. His work centers on *Black joy, growth, healing, fatherhood,* and reclaiming space in culture, making his message resonate deeply within today’s global collector community.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis collector base includes **athletes, musicians, cultural leaders, and serious art investors**, and demand for his work continues to accelerate — often seeing his most important editions disappear permanently into prominent private collections. *Black to the Future* in particular is considered a **key work** in Moore’s oeuvre and rarely surfaces on the secondary market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is important to note: **we work closely with both the artist and the publisher** — and **neither** have *any* remaining examples of this edition in their vaults or flat files. This is a true once-in-years opportunity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work is in **mint condition**, has **never been framed**, and is accompanied by the **original Certificate of Authenticity**, hand signed by both the artist and the publisher. It has been preserved flat with archival materials since its release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have been searching for this edition, **do not hesitate** — this is the first and only example we have been able to acquire in several years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work is **in hand** and will **ship immediately from the USA**.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**OFFERED EXCLUSIVELY BY APC ART** \u003cbr\u003e**MIA.
