Work Summary & Collector Notes

"Hit Panel" (Standard Edition) is a 2018 giclee by Cope2, printed on 290gsm Moab fine art paper at 18 x 18 inches in an edition of 50. The title uses graffiti slang, a "panel" being a piece painted on the side panel of a subway car, tying the work directly to train-writing tradition.

Collector notes: The saved release record describes: Edition Size: 50. Edition-specific signature, numbering, and stamp details were not stated in the saved release record. Verify signing and numbering against a documented example of this edition.

Why It Matters

The "panel" reference roots this print in the specific practice of painting subway car panels, a defining format of 1970s and 1980s New York graffiti. At an edition of 50 in a clean square format, it is a compact, terminology-rich piece that speaks to viewers fluent in the culture's language.

Collector Perspective

The 18 x 18 square suits gallery-style grouping and pairs naturally with "Building Strong" from the same 2018 edition size and format. As the Standard Edition of 50, it is a controlled run. Collectors drawn to graffiti terminology and train heritage will appreciate the direct "panel" reference.

Historical Context

Hitting a panel meant landing a piece on the coveted side surface of a subway car, prime real estate for visibility as trains ran the lines. Cope2 built his name in exactly this arena, and the 2018 print memorializes that ambition in a framed studio edition.
