**APC ART is pleased to offer this rare Artist Proof by DENIAL — “Fashion Addict Refill; Versace.”**
Executed in 2019 and published by **1xRUN**, this work is an **archival pigment print in colors on Mohawk Bright White fine art paper**, measuring **24 × 18 inches**. The print is **hand signed** in graphite pencil by the artist, lower right, and **notated “AP”** — identifying it as a **super-scarce Artist Proof** outside the regular numbered edition of 100. The reverse carries the artist’s official authentication stamp.
DENIAL (a.k.a. Daniel Bombardier) uses pop-culture iconography to critique consumerism, luxury obsession, and the advertising systems we ingest daily. Here, the concept of “addiction” is merged with high-fashion branding — transforming a **Versace-branded pill capsule** into a glossy, seductive object of desire. As collectors of DENIAL’s work know well, the artist invites viewers to question how quickly consumption becomes dependency.
This piece perfectly embodies the themes central to DENIAL’s practice:
• Luxury and status as psychological drugs
• Branding as the new narcotic
• The absurdity of value systems in consumer culture
Artist Proofs (APs) are extremely sought-after among collectors as they are typically:
• **Printed in very small quantities** (often 5–10)
• **Reserved for the artist’s personal archive**
• Considered **the most desirable objects** from a given release
This AP remains in **mint, pristine condition** — stored flat with archival materials since acquisition. **Never framed, never displayed**, and ready for museum-grade presentation.
A standout example from one of the most widely collected pop-provocateurs in contemporary art — and an exceptional opportunity to acquire a rare variant from a sold-out edition.
**The work is in-hand and will ship immediately from the USA.**
**Archival framing options available upon request.**
**OFFERED EXCLUSIVELY BY APC ART**
**MIA. ATL. NYC. LONDON. PARIS. LA. TOKYO.**
Gifted by the artist to the previous owner upon release.
Included with the work will be a certificate of authenticity from APC ART (with the gallery’s blind stamp), guaranteeing authenticity in perpetuity.
The work is in excellent condition. We have stored the work flat, to archival standard. Never framed.
