Why It Matters
As the fourth print in an ongoing publisher run, Naturalism shows a sustained collaborative relationship rather than a one-off. That continuity, together with its thematic link to Natural, gives collectors a series to track and situates the work within a deliberate, evolving edition program.
Collector Perspective
Edition of 60 on premium 330gsm stock puts this in an accessible mid-tier. Its place as the fourth release adds series context that completists may value. The square format suits varied interiors. Confirm signature, numbering, and the documented artist statement; verify it against the related Natural print if collecting the theme.
Historical Context
Issued in 2013 as part of a multi-print program, Naturalism reflects the era's structured approach to publishing graffiti artists in editions. Cope2's continued output through such runs mirrors how 1980s subway writers built durable studio careers a generation later.
