Why It Matters
Hand embellishment on a screen print makes every copy in the edition of 25 individually distinct, a significant step up in uniqueness from standard prints. Printing on Sirio Ultra Black stock lets the five colors and blue treatment read with dramatic contrast, and the Times Square subject names one of the most storied stations in the system.
Collector Perspective
Hand-embellished editions of only 25 sit at the higher end of Cope2's collectible print output, blending printmaking with unique painted intervention. The deep black substrate is a distinctive material choice. Confirm the embellishment and signature, and note the blue colorway that defines this specific variant.
Historical Context
The 42nd Street / Times Square station is a nerve center of the New York subway, and by naming it Cope2 anchors the print in the busiest heart of the network graffiti once colonized. The 2017 hand-embellished treatment elevates that subway homage into a near-unique object.
