Loyalty
Work Summary & Collector Notes
Loyalty, from 2012, is a compact 12 x 15 inch archival pigment print on 330gsm fine art paper in an edition of 40. Presented as one of the first releases in a run with Cope2, it launched a publisher program alongside Pure Royalty. The small format and tighter edition give it an intimate, entry-level appeal.
Collector notes: The saved release record describes: Edition Size: 40. 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
As one of the inaugural prints in Cope2's early edition program, Loyalty carries series-origin significance. Its edition of 40, smaller than the later 60-run releases, makes it comparatively scarcer within that program, a detail collectors tracking the sequence should weigh.
Collector Perspective
Edition of 40 places Loyalty among the tighter runs in this program, and its status as a launch release adds collectible interest. The small format suits intimate display. Confirm signature and numbering; for set-builders, pair it with Pure Royalty and the later titles to complete the sequence.
Historical Context
Released in 2012 to kick off a print run with Cope2, Loyalty marks the beginning of a sustained collaboration between the artist and his publisher. It reflects the early-2010s moment when graffiti veterans formalized their studio output into collectible editions.
