{"product_id":"supermodel-kate-moss","title":"Supermodel (Kate Moss)","description":"\u003cp\u003e*APC ART is proud to present “Supermodel (Kate Moss)” — a striking early lithograph in colors by Mr. Brainwash, executed in 2009 and printed on semi-gloss wove paper. Measuring 91 × 61 cm (35.8 × 24 inches), the work is signed in the plate in white ink along the left margin and originates from a limited, unknown edition, placing it among the most desirable and historically relevant releases from the artist’s formative period.*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*Mr. Brainwash — the artistic persona of Thierry Guetta — occupies a singular position within the history of contemporary art. Catapulted into global prominence through his central role in Banksy’s landmark film “Exit Through the Gift Shop,” he rapidly evolved from cultural phenomenon to one of the most commercially successful and widely collected artists of the 21st century. His work synthesizes the visual language of Pop Art, street art, appropriation, and mass media, creating images that are at once immediately recognizable and deeply embedded in the history of post-war art.*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*Since his debut exhibition “Life Is Beautiful” in Los Angeles — one of the most visited and talked-about shows of its time — Mr. Brainwash has exhibited internationally to sold-out audiences, with works entering major private collections and appearing in museums and high-profile institutional contexts. His market has demonstrated remarkable resilience and global reach, supported by a collector base that spans contemporary art patrons, celebrities, and blue-chip investors seeking culturally iconic imagery.*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*“Supermodel (Kate Moss)” stands as one of the defining images within the artist’s early oeuvre. By appropriating the face of one of the most recognizable figures in fashion and popular culture, Mr. Brainwash continues the Pop lineage established by Warhol while translating it into the visual language of the street. The repetition of Moss’s portrait across the surface echoes the serial strategies of Pop Art, while the torn poster aesthetic, layered textures, and bursts of color introduce the raw physicality of urban intervention.*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*Gold passages fracture the composition like remnants of weathered billboards, creating a dialogue between glamour and decay — a central theme in Mr. Brainwash’s work. Beneath these ruptured planes, vibrant chromatic strata emerge, revealing the process of accumulation and erasure that defines his practice. The result is an image that feels both cinematic and archaeological — a portrait constructed from the visual noise of contemporary culture.*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*Works from 2008–2010 are widely regarded as the most historically important within the Mr. Brainwash market. Created at the precise moment of his global breakthrough, they carry a direct connection to the cultural shift that brought street art into the center of the contemporary art conversation. Early limited lithographs of this scale and visual impact have become increasingly difficult to source, particularly in strong condition.*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*The monumental vertical format amplifies the iconic presence of the subject, allowing the work to function as both a portrait and an architectural statement within a space. Its museum-scale dimensions and immediately recognizable imagery make it a cornerstone piece for collections focused on Pop, street art, and the post-Banksy generation.*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*The work is in excellent condition and ready for immediate placement. APC ART is pleased to offer museum-quality archival framing options to further enhance and preserve this significant early edition.*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*A culturally defining image from the breakthrough moment of one of the most recognizable figures in contemporary art — an essential acquisition for serious collectors of post-war, Pop, and urban contemporary work.*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*OFFERED EXCLUSIVELY BY APC ART* \u003cbr\u003e*MIA • ATL • NYC • LA • LONDON • PARIS • TOKYO*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncluded with the work is a COA from APC ART, guaranteeing authenticity in perpetuity. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work is in excellent condition.
