Death NYC
BE@RBRICK × Rolex Cosmograph • $1 Bill
Limited Edition on Genuine U.S. Currency • Dark Palette Treatment
Hand-Signed • Professionally Framed & Matted • COA Included
What You Are Getting
This is an authentic Death NYC limited edition print on a genuine U.S. $1 bill, featuring a BE@RBRICK silhouette filled with Rolex Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph imagery. The bill is presented in portrait orientation with a dark, high-contrast treatment that renders the composition in deep blacks and silvers, allowing the Rolex bezel markings, crown logo, dial details, and "COSMOGRAPH" text to emerge through the BE@RBRICK form like an X-ray of luxury. The green Treasury seal remains visible through the overlay, grounding the piece in its currency substrate and reminding the viewer that this is art printed on real money.
The piece is professionally framed in a silver/metallic frame with a dark mat and white inner border -- a clean, polished presentation that complements the monochromatic palette and arrives ready to hang. A Certificate of Authenticity is included. The combination of Medicom's BE@RBRICK, Rolex's Cosmograph, and U.S. currency on a single bill creates one of the most conceptually dense compositions in Death NYC's currency-based catalog -- three global symbols of value and status collapsed into a piece of paper that is itself legal tender.

About the Work
This piece shares the same subject matter as Death NYC's more widely known teal/turquoise double-bill BE@RBRICK × Rolex editions, but the dark palette treatment creates a fundamentally different visual and emotional experience. Where the teal versions pop with Warholian color saturation and playful energy, this version operates in shadow. The deep blacks and silver tones give the Rolex Cosmograph imagery an almost X-ray quality -- the bezel numbers (60, 85, 100, 120), the crown logo, the dial face, and the "COSMOGRAPH" lettering emerge from the BE@RBRICK silhouette like the internal mechanics of a luxury object being revealed for inspection. It feels less like pop art and more like a forensic study of what luxury actually looks like when you strip away the color and marketing.
The single-bill portrait format intensifies this effect. The narrow vertical composition forces the eye to travel the full length of the BE@RBRICK form, taking in each layer of Rolex detail as it passes. The green Treasury seal -- the only color accent in the piece -- anchors the lower portion of the bill and serves as a constant reminder that the substrate is genuine currency. The tension between the dark, almost clinical overlay and the familiar dollar bill underneath creates a visual experience that rewards sustained attention: the longer you look, the more detail resolves from the shadows.
Why the dark treatment matters: Death NYC's currency-based works exist in multiple colorway treatments. The teal/turquoise versions are the most widely recognized, but darker treatments like this one are less commonly encountered on the secondary market. The dark palette gives the piece a different display profile -- it reads as more serious, more luxurious, and more gallery-appropriate than the brighter variants. For collectors who already own a color-shifted version, the dark treatment offers a complementary piece that occupies a different visual register. For collectors choosing their first Death NYC currency work, this version's restrained palette makes it the more versatile display option for professional or minimalist interiors.
About the Artist
Death NYC (Don't Easily Abandon The Hope -- New York City) is a New York-based contemporary street pop artist recognized internationally for limited-edition and one-of-one works that fuse luxury branding, fashion iconography, pop culture, and urban visual language into densely layered, highly collectible compositions.
Her work draws from the traditions of Warhol, the street-art movement, and the visual power of global luxury brands -- creating pieces that appeal to pop art collectors, street art buyers, fashion enthusiasts, and designer toy collectors simultaneously. Death NYC's currency-based works -- printed directly on genuine U.S. bills -- represent one of the most distinctive and sought-after categories in her output, combining the conceptual weight of art-on-money with the physical uniqueness of individually serialized currency.

Who This Is For
This piece is ideal for BE@RBRICK and Medicom Toy collectors, Rolex and luxury watch enthusiasts, currency art and pop art buyers, Death NYC collectors seeking the darker, less commonly seen colorway of the BE@RBRICK × Rolex composition, or anyone looking for a framed, display-ready artwork with a sophisticated, restrained palette that works in professional settings, minimalist interiors, and curated collections.
The single-bill format creates a compact, vertical presentation that works in spaces where larger pieces can't -- narrow wall sections, shelf displays, grouped gallery walls, or desk-adjacent positions. The silver frame and dark mat complement the monochromatic artwork, and the portrait orientation gives the piece a presence that belies its physical size. The genuine currency substrate means this piece carries a conceptual dimension that standard prints lack: the money is real, the art is on top of it, and the viewer reconciles both every time they look at the wall. Framed, authenticated, and ready to hang.

SHEPARD FAIREY
Few contemporary artists have bridged underground culture and institutional recognition as effectively as Shepard Fairey. Emerging from skate and punk subcultures with the original Obey Giant campaign, he built a visual language rooted in propaganda aesthetics, bold iconography, and political commentary.
What makes Fairey compelling for collectors isn’t just name recognition — it’s durability. His work sits at the intersection of activism, design, and pop culture. \
From the globally recognized Hope poster to decades of tightly controlled screenprint editions, he has demonstrated both cultural relevance and disciplined market structure.
Institutional validation from MoMA, the Smithsonian, and the V&A reinforces long-term credibility. Meanwhile, secondary market data shows consistent liquidity and steady appreciation across core prints.
For collectors, this is cultural equity with infrastructure behind it — not trend-driven volatility.
