Work Summary & Collector Notes
Versailles (Blue) is a 2018 screenprint issued in an edition of 100 through Over The Influence, at approximately 21.5 x 19.5 inches. The blue colorway of the Versailles composition brings Invader's pixelated aesthetic into dialogue with one of France's most storied royal sites, rendered in the artist's signature grid-based visual system.
Collector notes: Legacy catalog record: 100. Edition-specific signature and publisher marks not independently documented in the sources reviewed.
Why It Matters
Versailles connects Invader's contemporary street-art vocabulary to French heritage iconography, a juxtaposition that recurs when the artist maps his aliens onto historic locations. At an edition of 100, the blue variant sits in the more limited tier of his print output, and the Over The Influence publication ties it to the gallery's international program.
Collector Perspective
Colorway variants like the blue Versailles are tracked closely by collectors who compare editions across the composition's releases. With a run of 100, availability is limited relative to his 300-count screenprints. As a 2018 Over The Influence screenprint, it offers documented gallery provenance and a large, wall-friendly format suited to display.
Historical Context
Invader has repeatedly placed his pixel aliens against landmarks and cultural references, and Versailles extends that impulse toward French royal heritage. The 2018 Over The Influence edition reflects the gallery's role in publishing his editioned work during this period, connecting a Parisian-adjacent subject to an international distribution channel.
