Work Summary & Collector Notes
"The Goat 25" is a 2025 timed-edition archival pigment print by Cope2, measuring 14 x 12 inches on 290gsm Moab Entrada fine art paper. It is signed and numbered by the artist and paired with a signed 1XRUN certificate of authenticity, released as a companion to "True Legend 25."
Collector notes: Legacy catalog label: Timed Edition; total quantity was not documented in the saved record. 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 title leans on the "greatest of all time" shorthand, positioning Cope2 within graffiti's canon. As a timed edition with 1XRUN backing, its final run reflects live collector demand, and its small format makes it an accessible signed work that still delivers the artist's recognizable lettering energy.
Collector Perspective
Acquire it and "True Legend 25" together for a matched pair, since the two were conceived as companions at identical dimensions. Keep the signed 1XRUN certificate with the print, and confirm your specific edition number, which will only be known once the timed window closed and the run finalized.
Historical Context
Released through 1XRUN in early 2025, "The Goat 25" continues Cope2's move from subway walls to archival editions. The GOAT framing reflects how the graffiti community memorializes its long-active pioneers, and Cope2's decades on New York walls give the self-referential title its grounding.
