Why It Matters
This is a direct collaboration with Richard Duardo, the influential LA master printer often called the 'Warhol of the West.' Pairing RETNA's script with Duardo's printmaking authority gives the edition unusual provenance weight. An edition of 20 keeps it scarce, and the biblical title adds a layer of narrative reference.
Collector Perspective
The Duardo collaboration is the key draw here, tying RETNA to one of the most significant figures in West Coast serigraphy. An edition of 20 on Stonehenge cotton rag offers both scarcity and archival quality. Collectors should confirm signatures and numbering and note the Duardo association in provenance records.
Historical Context
Produced in 2011, this print sits within RETNA's fruitful relationship with Richard Duardo, who printed and championed many street-rooted LA artists before his death in 2014. The Matthew 24:36 scripture reflects the spiritual and textual undercurrents that thread through RETNA's cipher-like lettering.
