Why It Matters
End Of Days sits early in Peterson's transition from underground street work to gallery-recognized printmaking. The apocalyptic title telegraphs the artist's recurring thesis: civilization as a thin veneer over primal violence. The Seizure Palace print pedigree and heavy cotton rag substrate signal a piece made for permanence, not disposability.
Collector Perspective
With only 55 impressions, End Of Days is genuinely scarce among Peterson's earlier editions. Collectors should confirm the signature and numbering in pencil and inspect the Coventry rag for the crisp registration Seizure Palace is known for. As a titled 2012 work, it slots neatly into a chronological Peterson holding.
Historical Context
2012 marked Peterson's ascent within the wider Obey and Los Angeles print ecosystem, where his black-and-white brutalism stood apart from more decorative street-art fare. End Of Days belongs to the body of work that established his reputation for depicting power, cruelty, and social collapse without moralizing captions.
