**APC ART is pleased to present our global collector base this rare and iconic work — “Kate Moss” by Mr. Brainwash.**

Executed as a **lithograph in colours on semi-gloss wove paper**, this edition measures **59.7 × 59.7 cm (23.5″ × 23.5″)** and was **personally gifted to APC ART by the artist** himself. 

This exceptional example originates directly from **Mr. Brainwash’s now-legendary “Life is Beautiful” exhibition (London, 2012)** — a pivotal moment in contemporary street-art history that marked the crossover of urban expression into the fine-art world. During the height of that exhibition, *the owner of APC ART was gifted a small stack of these lithographs directly from the artist*. **Only ONE example remains available from the APC Vaults.**

The composition captures *Kate Moss* rendered in Mr. Brainwash’s signature pop-art collage style — a burst of colour, energy, and cultural nostalgia. Referencing both *Banksy’s* “Kate Moss” screenprint and the Warholian lineage of celebrity portraiture, this work exemplifies MBW’s talent for merging irony, positivity, and urban dynamism into one cohesive visual language. 

Over the years, the “Life is Beautiful” exhibition has become a cornerstone in the narrative of 21st-century pop-street art. The London edition, in particular, cemented Mr. Brainwash’s position alongside contemporaries like *Banksy* and *Shepard Fairey* as one of the key voices redefining post-graffiti culture. Works from this period are among the most collectible and celebrated in his oeuvre. 

**Condition:** 
This example is in *excellent condition* — *vibrant, unblemished colours, no creasing or edge wear, preserved flat in archival materials since acquisition*. Many secondary-market examples have suffered fading or were produced as matte reprints years later; these **are the original semi-gloss lithographs from “Life is Beautiful,” London (2012)** — verified, genuine, and rare.

From an **investment standpoint**, few works encapsulate the rise of contemporary street art like this one. As original examples from *“Life is Beautiful”* have become increasingly scarce, the value and cultural significance of this image have only grown. 

The work will ship **professionally framed** in a **Black, contemporary frame with acid-free matte and UV-protective glazing**, arriving **ready to hang and enjoy immediately**. Upgraded framing options are available upon request. 

**Authenticity and provenance are guaranteed in perpetuity by APC ART.**
