This is an original 2020 Death NYC screen print — Kate Moss & Rihanna Drip — rendered entirely in a deep monochromatic red colorway and designated A/P (Artist Proof), outside the standard numbered edition of 100. The print is hand-signed and dated by Death NYC, authenticated with the metal Death NYC® Certificate of Authenticity plaque dated 2020, and presented framed in an ornate red-painted ribbed wood frame with white mat. The frame has a crack at the lower left corner joint, which is disclosed fully and shown in photographs.

The composition is a large horizontal double portrait — two of the most photographed women in fashion and pop culture placed cheek-to-cheek in an intimate close-up. On the left, Rihanna — hand raised to her head, heavy eye makeup, bare shoulder, the tattoos on her hand and collarbone subtly visible. On the right, Kate Moss — platinum hair, heavy red lips with a signature Death NYC paint-drip descending from her mouth, a red Warhol-style heart at her temple. The entire image is printed in a single saturated red over white paper — no black, no additional colors — creating a monochromatic effect that reads simultaneously as glamour photography, fashion editorial, and pop art appropriation. The red-on-white palette matches and echoes the red frame, making the framing an intentional part of the presentation.

The pairing of Moss and Rihanna is one of Death NYC’s most commercially recognized compositions — placing the defining supermodel of the 1990s–2000s alongside the defining pop-music style icon of the same era, rendered in the visual language of fashion photography repurposed as street art. The drip element — red paint descending from Moss’s lips — is Death NYC’s recurring intervention, the mark that signals the image has been taken from one context and placed in another.

Death NYC is a New York-based anonymous street artist whose name is an acronym: Don’t Easily Abandon The Hope. Working squarely in the tradition of Andy Warhol — who made celebrity repetition into fine art — Death NYC layers iconic pop culture portraits with luxury brand imagery, cartoon overlays, and graphic interventions (the signature drip, the Warhol bow, the heart) into dense compositions that comment on how fame, fashion, and money create and consume images. The artist began working in SoHo and Chelsea and has developed a global collector market through limited edition prints and unique works on found objects and currency.

Kate Moss is one of Death NYC’s most recurring subjects — appearing in dozens of editions pairing her image with Banksy, Kaws, Murakami, Supreme, Disney, and other pop culture references. Rihanna appears frequently as well, particularly in dual-portrait compositions that place her alongside other cultural icons. The 2020 red monochromatic edition of this Kate Moss / Rihanna composition is among the most visually striking — the single-color approach, unusual for Death NYC’s typically multi-color palette, gives the work a graphic intensity that stands apart from the artist’s standard output.
