Gauntlet Gallery — Complete Mr Brainwash Print Index
Untitled (Nepal) (Pink)
Summary
Untitled (Nepal) (Pink) is a 2015 six-color screen print on hand-torn archival art paper, issued in an edition of 50 at 30 by 22.5 inches. Each sheet is signed, numbered, and carries the artist's verso thumbprint, with proceeds supporting Nepal earthquake relief.
Why It Matters
At just 50 impressions, the Pink variant is the tightest of the Nepal benefit editions here, making it comparatively scarce. Its charitable backstory and low edition size give it appeal to collectors who value both documented purpose and limited availability.
Collector Perspective
The edition of 50 is a meaningful step down from the 100-impression Nepal releases, and the Pink colorway distinguishes it from companion variants such as Blue. Collectors should confirm this is specifically the Pink version, verify the six-color build and 30 x 22.5-inch sheet, and check numbering and thumbprint.
Historical Context
This print belongs to Mr. Brainwash's 2015 Nepal relief series, released after the earthquake that struck the country. Issuing the same image in multiple colorways at varying edition sizes is characteristic of MBW's approach, letting collectors choose a preferred palette.

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.
