Wonder Woman
Summary
Wonder Woman is a 2017 ten-color screen print on hand-torn archival paper, editioned to 100 at 47 x 34 inches. Released to coincide with the Wonder Woman film, it opened Mr. Brainwash's superhero series, rendering the DC heroine in his dense, multi-layered pop style on one of his larger sheets.
Why It Matters
As the inaugural print of the superhero series that Justice League later continued, Wonder Woman carries first-in-series significance. Its release was timed to a major cultural film event, and the ten-color process plus large format mark it as an ambitious studio production. The edition of 100 keeps it within reach for series collectors.
Collector Perspective
Collectors building MBW's superhero run should treat this as the anchor piece; it pairs directly with Justice League. The large 47 x 34 sheet requires careful framing and handling—inspect for creases and clean torn edges. Confirm signature, numbering, and the reverse thumbprint.

The 2017 Wonder Woman film was a cultural touchstone, and Mr. Brainwash timed this print to that moment, extending his pattern of tying editions to pop-culture events. The superhero theme let him apply his appropriative, celebratory method to comic-book iconography at large scale.

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.
