This work is one of Blek’s most iconic images.
This is a very rare Proof aside from the edition of 200.
This is Printer's Proof 1 - denoted by "PP 1", hand written by the artist in graphite pencil, bottom left margin.
These early Blek Proofs are exceptionally difficult to come across.
To find one with a Black Rat Press certificate of authenticity is difficult.
This work comes with the certificate of authenticity from Goldmark Atelier , signed by their master printer and confirming the work to be ”Printer’s Proof 1/4”.
Xavier Prou (AKA Blek Le Rat) began stenciling rats on the streets of Paris twenty years before Banksy touched a spray can; "Every time I think I did something new, I find out that Blek did it twenty years ago" -Banksy.
Published by Black Rat Press in 2007, this is an EXTREMELY iconic Blek work.
This is, once again, a proof apart from the edition of 200, with "ppI" written by hand, bottom left margin and signed by the artist, bottom left margin, this is an iconic, rarely seen work as well as an excellent investment piece.
The work is in PHENOMENAL condition, you will be hard pressed to find another example in this type of condition (or at all, for that matter).
Included with the print will be the original certificate of authenticity from Goldmark Atelier .
These COAs are extremely hard to find. These are the original certificates issued by the print house, the legendary Goldmark Atelier , signed by their master printer and noted as ”Printer’s Proof 1/1” .
Overall this is an amazing work, a piece that will be a welcome addition to any Street Art or Contemporary art collection.
The work will ship quickly from the USA and we are pleased to offer our international clients with various logistics options.
