Why It Matters
Part of Vhils's tightest early editions at just 30 varied impressions, Untitled 2 reads as one half of a paired statement. The varied approach means collectors acquire a genuinely singular object, and its 2009 date places it at the origin of his studio print practice, when methods were still exploratory.
Collector Perspective
With an edition of 30 and sheet-by-sheet variation, scarcity is high and each impression is distinct. Collectors drawn to Untitled 1 often seek this as its pair, given the shared dimensions and year. Prioritize the specific finishing quality of the individual sheet and verify the signature.
Historical Context
Created in 2009 in the wake of his Cans Festival exposure, Untitled 2 belongs to Vhils's earliest gallery editions. This was the moment he began systematically converting the eroded, carved textures of his walls into signed, finite prints, laying groundwork for the larger editions that followed.
