Why It Matters
The Zero Skateboards partnership returns Peterson's imagery to the skate culture from which he emerged, closing a loop between his origins and his mature practice. As a five-deck set that reads as a single composition, it functions as both functional object and wall installation. The tiny run of 35 makes it among his scarcest 2022 releases.
Collector Perspective
At an original $500 for the complete set, this multi-object work carries a low edition of 35, signed by the artist. Skate-deck collaborations attract both art and skate-culture collectors, broadening demand. The five-board assembled format offers a striking display, and its scarcity relative to his paper editions makes it a standout acquisition.
Historical Context
Peterson began in the Los Angeles skate and graffiti scene, and Zero Skateboards is a foundational hardcore skate brand. Their collaboration situates his work within a rich tradition of artist-designed decks that bridge fine art and street culture. The Rule Of Law title extends his interrogation of authority onto an object of youthful rebellion.
