Why It Matters
Self-released works occupy a special place in an artist's catalogue, produced outside gallery structures and often in tiny numbers, here just 25. The hand-finishing makes each impression semi-unique, and the panoramic 35 x 85 cm format is unusual. Together these traits mark it as a personal, directly issued statement.
Collector Perspective
With only 25 impressions and hand-finishing, this is among the scarcer and more idiosyncratic entries in the index. The self-released provenance and wide format demand careful authentication and framing respectively. Because each is hand-worked, collectors should assess the individual character and condition of a given impression rather than expect uniformity.
Historical Context
D*Face self-released a number of works alongside his gallery editions, reflecting the DIY ethos carried over from street and skate culture. 2006 sits early in his editioned career. The panoramic format and topical pun align with his broader practice of turning news-cycle figures into grotesque satirical portraits.
