Juggernaut
Work Summary & Collector Notes
Juggernaut, from 2016, is a tight edition of 25 with a 20 x 30 inch image, hand-signed by Cope2. The horizontal format and forceful title suit an expansive, momentum-driven letterform composition. With only 25 impressions, it is among the scarcer entries in his print catalog and one of the larger images.

Why It Matters
The small edition size sets Juggernaut apart from Cope2's more widely distributed 50 and 75 run prints. Scarcity plus a generous horizontal canvas gives it standout potential for collectors who prize both edition tightness and scale, two levers that often move a print's long-term desirability.
Collector Perspective
At 25 copies, this is one of Cope2's more limited editions, a meaningful factor for scarcity-minded buyers. The 20 x 30 inch image commands wall space and rewards it. Confirm the hand signature and edition fraction; the low count makes condition and completeness especially important here.
Historical Context
Issued in 2016 within Cope2's gallery-era print program, Juggernaut reflects his willingness to work at larger scale for collector editions. The aggressive title echoes the unstoppable, all-city ambition that defined his 1980s Bronx reputation as one of New York's most prolific bombers.
