Street Improvements Box Set
Work Summary & Collector Notes
The 'Street Improvements Box Set' is a 2020 StolenSpace portfolio gathering six D*Face screen prints on hand-aged, archival deckled-edge paper, spanning work from 2006 to 2020. Sized at 84 x 44.5cm and housed in a customised wooden crate, the set is limited to just 30, making it one of his scarcest paper releases.
Collector notes: The saved release record describes: Edition of 30. 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
A six-print box set surveying 2006 to 2020 functions as a career retrospective in portfolio form, a format reserved for an artist's more significant editions. The wooden crate, hand-aged deckled paper, and edition of only 30 elevate it well beyond a single print, appealing to serious collectors seeking depth.
Collector Perspective
At an edition of 30 with six prints and a custom crate, this is a premium collector object where completeness is everything: all six prints, the crate, and any documentation must be present and intact. The 2006 to 2020 span adds historical breadth. Scarcity at this level makes condition and set integrity paramount.
Historical Context
Box sets and portfolios are a long-standing tradition in printmaking, used to package a curated survey of an artist's imagery. This 2020 StolenSpace release draws on 14 years of D*Face's work, from his mid-2000s emergence through his established gallery era, presented on deliberately hand-aged paper to evoke the street origins of the imagery.
