Work Summary & Collector Notes
"Create A Racket" is a 2013 double-sided screen print by D*Face, published by StolenSpace in a signed and numbered edition of 85. The front carries seven colours and the reverse one, across a sheet measuring 613 x 460 mm, making it a technically ambitious print that uses both faces of the paper.
Collector notes: The saved release record describes: Limited Edition Of 85. The saved release record describes: signed; numbered. Verify each feature against a documented example of this edition.
Why It Matters
The double-sided construction is unusual for editioned prints and rewards close, in-hand viewing rather than simple framing. Seven colours on the front indicate a complex, multi-layer registration, and the signed-and-numbered edition of 85 places it in a mid-range availability band within D*Face's StolenSpace output.
Collector Perspective
Being double-sided, the work poses a presentation choice, one face is hidden when framed conventionally, which some collectors address with float-mounting. The edition of 85 is more available than his tightly limited works but still finite. Confirm the signature, numbering, and that both printed sides are intact and undamaged.
Historical Context
Published in 2013 by StolenSpace, D*Face's own gallery, "Create A Racket" reflects the studio's willingness to experiment with print format. Its title's punning, protest-inflected tone is consistent with D*Face's rebellious, subculture-rooted sensibility, carried over from his origins in stickers, stencils, and street interventions.
