Graffiti For Sale
Summary
Graffiti For Sale is a 2022 screen print in an edition of 50 at 30 x 22 inches. The title turns a sharp lens on the commodification of street art itself, a self-aware commentary. The release adds 5 APs, 5 one-of-a-kinds, 3 canvas editions, and 3 one-of-a-kind canvases.
Why It Matters
The subject is pointed: an artist raised in street culture examining how graffiti becomes a saleable commodity. That reflexive critique gives Graffiti For Sale conceptual weight beyond its visual appeal and situates it within debates about street art's market absorption.
Collector Perspective
The numbered 50 anchors the release, with 5 APs and single-digit one-of-a-kind and canvas tiers above it. Collectors drawn to the meta-commentary may value the concept as much as the format; those chasing scarcity will look to the 3 unique canvases.
Historical Context
Released in 2022, Graffiti For Sale engages a long-running tension in street art between anti-establishment origins and gallery commerce. Hijack, working from within that lineage, uses the title to comment on his own market.

About the Artist
Hijack is a Los Angeles-based street artist, the son of the French urban artist Blek le Rat, who is often credited as a pioneer of stencil graffiti and an influence on Banksy. Working primarily in stencil and mixed media, Hijack creates satirical, pop-culture-charged imagery that comments on consumerism, politics, and celebrity, frequently juxtaposing childhood innocence with adult themes. He has exhibited in galleries across the United States and internationally, and his editions and originals have attracted a growing collector base within the contemporary urban-art market.
Collecting Hijack at Gauntlet Gallery
How should I start collecting Hijack?
Signed, numbered editions are the natural entry point, with hand-embellished prints and original stencil-on-canvas works representing the higher tier. Look for bold, recognizable imagery and clean condition. Gauntlet Gallery selects pieces with complete signing and documented release history.
How is authenticity handled?
Hijack works are offered with documented studio provenance and the artist's signature and numbering. We photograph the specific piece you will receive, capturing the signature and edition details so you can verify before buying.
What drives Hijack's value?
Scarcity (edition size and unique works), subject matter, hand-embellishment, condition, and provenance tied to a documented release are the primary value drivers. Originals and low-numbered embellished prints command the strongest prices.
