D*Face Print Authentication and Value Guide 2026
D*Face (Dean Stockton) is one of the most recognized British street artists working today — a peer of Banksy with a deeply commercial yet critically respected body of work. His signed screenprints and mixed-media editions have become a staple of the secondary street art market. At gauntlet.gallery, we authenticate every D*Face piece before it goes on sale, because the market has its share of unsigned or misattributed works.
How to Authenticate a D*Face Print
Genuine D*Face editions share several consistent traits:
- Signed COA: A certificate of authenticity signed by D*Face or issued by the gallery of original purchase (e.g., Pictures on Walls, Stolen Space).
- Pencil or ink signature on the front: Most editions are hand-signed in pencil below the image.
- Edition stamp or notation: Written as X/YYY (e.g., 75/150) in pencil.
- Screenprint texture: Visible ink layering and slight registration variation consistent with hand-pulled prints — not a flat digital reproduction.
- Provenance chain: Receipt or record tracing the work back to an authorized gallery or the artist's studio.
