Gauntlet Gallery — Complete Mr Brainwash Print Index
Queen Of Love (Pink)
Summary
Queen of Love (Pink) (2024) is a 10-color screenprint on archival paper at 22 x 22 inches, issued in an edition of 50 plus 5 artist proofs with deckled edges. Released in two color variations — pink and blue — the pink colorway is signed and thumb-printed, with framed-canvas presentation also available.
Why It Matters
An edition of 50 per colorway makes this one of the scarcer square love-themed prints in this group. The 10-color build gives it richer layering than the artist's simpler sentiment editions, and the two-variation structure appeals to collectors who chase pairs or a preferred hue.
Collector Perspective
With only 50 of the pink plus 5 APs, supply is limited. The pink/blue pairing invites diptych display. Confirm the colorway against the COA and check the thumbprint and signature. The 22-inch square is a versatile, centered-display format.
Historical Context
Regal 'Queen' imagery and love iconography recur across Mr Brainwash's romance-themed editions, blending pop portraiture with Valentine sentiment. Dated 2024, this variation series continues that thread.

About the Artist
Mr. Brainwash is the pseudonym of Thierry Guetta, a French-born, Los Angeles-based street artist who rose to prominence through Banksy's 2010 documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop. Originally a videographer who filmed street artists including Shepard Fairey and Banksy, Guetta reinvented himself as an artist, staging his ambitious 2008 debut show "Life Is Beautiful" in Los Angeles. His work draws heavily on pop-art appropriation, remixing icons such as Warhol, Einstein, Charlie Chaplin, and spray-paint splatters. He has produced album art and large-scale exhibitions across the U.S. and Europe.
Collecting Mr Brainwash at Gauntlet Gallery
What Mr. Brainwash prints should I buy first?
Start with hand-finished screenprints and stencil works from his named exhibitions, where each impression is signed, numbered, and often uniquely embellished with spray-paint or stamps. Smaller editions and show-related pieces from "Life Is Beautiful" and later gallery runs are the most recognizable entry points. At Gauntlet Gallery we prioritize pieces with clean condition and complete signing.
How is authenticity documented?
Gauntlet Gallery sells Mr. Brainwash works with documented studio provenance and the artist's own signature, numbering, and thumbprint or stamp where present. We photograph the exact piece you receive, including signature and edition details, so what you verify is what ships.
What drives value?
Value is driven by edition size, whether the piece is hand-embellished versus a flat print, subject popularity, condition, and provenance tied to a documented exhibition. Signed, low-numbered, and uniquely finished impressions command the strongest premiums.
