Collector notes: The saved release record describes: 5 x AP Edition 12 x 30in. 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 elongated 12 x 30 format is unusual and gives the image a cinematic, banner-like presence suited to its charged subject. As a giclee rather than screen print, it favors fine detail, and the pointed title places it among Hijack's more overtly political statements.
Collector Perspective
The numbered 50 is the entry, with 10 one-of-a-kinds and 2 unique canvases as the scarcer tiers. The wide 12 x 30 format demands specific wall space and appeals to collectors wanting a statement piece. Confirm whether an example is paper or canvas.
Historical Context
Dated 2021, this giclee sits among Hijack's protest-oriented works, its confrontational title reflecting themes of resistance. The panoramic format and giclee medium mark a departure from his square screen prints of the period.
