Work Summary & Collector Notes

Brimstone M, 2010, is a five-color serigraph published and printed by Modern Multiples for RETNA's 'Desaturated' exhibition at New Image Gallery in West Hollywood. Measuring 59 x 22 inches in an edition of 16, it is the companion variant to Brimstone X within the same series.

Collector notes: First Edition; saved release record states an edition size of 16. 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

As the 'M' counterpart to Brimstone X, this print offers collectors the chance to assemble a matched pair from the 'Desaturated' show. The Modern Multiples pedigree and edition of 16 maintain scarcity, while the shared tall format reinforces the series' vertical, column-like presentation of RETNA's lettering.

Collector Perspective

Brimstone M holds particular appeal for collectors seeking to pair it with Brimstone X as a diptych from the same exhibition. The small edition of 16 and exhibition provenance drive its desirability. Verify the Modern Multiples publication and numbering, and consider the display logic of the narrow vertical format.

Historical Context

Created in 2010 for the 'Desaturated' exhibition at New Image Gallery, Brimstone M sits alongside Brimstone X in RETNA's early gallery editions. The show and its Modern Multiples serigraphs mark the artist's formal entry into curated exhibition contexts from a street-art foundation.
