DEATH NYC
Mona Lisa in a BAPE Shark Hoodie × Louis Vuitton Multicolore
Hand-Signed, Hand-Numbered Limited Edition Pop Art Print — 2025
What You Are Getting
An authentic, hand-signed Death NYC limited edition print colliding three of the most recognizable visual icons of the last 500 years — Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, A Bathing Ape's Shark Hoodie, and the Louis Vuitton Multicolore Monogram designed by Takashi Murakami. The Mona Lisa appears wearing the iconic BAPE shark zip-hoodie, half-hooded with the unmistakable red-mouth shark face peeking from the side, all over a saturated multicolore LV pattern that bleeds into da Vinci's original Sfumato landscape. Pencil-signed by the artist in the lower right and hand-numbered in the lower left on heavyweight textured fine art paper.

About the Work
This piece compresses 500+ years of visual culture into a single image. Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa (c. 1503–1519) is arguably the most-reproduced and most-photographed painting on Earth — and Death NYC dresses her in BAPE's Shark Full Zip Hoodie, the streetwear holy grail launched by Japanese designer Nigo in 2005 and still considered the single most recognizable hoodie silhouette in fashion history. The background fuses da Vinci's original sfumato landscape with the Louis Vuitton Multicolore Monogram designed by Takashi Murakami in 2003 for Marc Jacobs — the LV × Murakami collaboration that reset how the luxury industry approached contemporary art partnerships.
The result is a triple high-low collision: Renaissance fine art, Tokyo streetwear, and Parisian luxury, treated as equal-weight visual languages. The piece reads as commentary on celebrity, branding, and the way every iconic image eventually becomes merchandise — a theme Death NYC has been pressing on since the early 2010s.
About the Artist
Death NYC is an anonymous New York-based street and pop artist who has been releasing limited edition signed prints since the early 2010s. The work is defined by aggressive appropriation — fine art masters, streetwear icons, anime, and luxury houses including Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Hermès, BAPE, and Supreme — recombined into single high-density compositions.
Death NYC editions are pencil-signed and hand-numbered, typically in editions of 20, 45, or 100, with smaller editions commanding the strongest secondary market. Death NYC works have been collected and resold across major secondary markets including Heritage Auctions, Artsy, and 1stDibs. The anonymous-artist mythology, combined with the relentless mashup output, has made Death NYC one of the most recognizable street/pop crossover names of the past decade.

How does Gauntlet Gallery verify authenticity?
Every piece is reviewed against available authentication documentation before listing. For signed prints we cross-reference COA issuers, publisher records, edition counts, signature placement, and known release details. For music and space memorabilia we work with Beckett, JSA, PSA, and Zarelli Space Authentication. Items that cannot be documented to our standard are not listed.
How do you document condition?
We photograph each print under consistent lighting to show the actual paper, frame condition, ink saturation, and any aging or edge wear. Condition notes describe observable marks, foxing, deckle wear, or print aging in specific terms — not vague labels like "good." If a piece has a flaw that affects collectibility or value, we say so explicitly. Request additional close-ups before purchase.
How is the print packed and shipped?
Prints ship flat between two acid-free rigid boards inside a corrugated outer mailer with rigid corner protection. Larger prints over 24×30 may ship rolled inside a thick-walled tube with archival tissue. All shipments are insured for full value with tracked carrier service. Framed pieces ship in custom-cut wood crates with foam edge protection. Signature on delivery required over $500.
What documentation is included?
Original COAs, publisher certificates, third-party authentication letters, and Gauntlet Gallery condition reports ship with the artwork. Every piece also gets a blockchain-verified COA on Polygon via TrueCOA, permanently anchoring provenance. Specific documentation for each listing is noted in the product description.
Why buy from Gauntlet Gallery instead of a marketplace?
Marketplaces give access but leave buyers to judge authenticity, condition, pricing, and seller credibility alone. Gauntlet adds a trust layer through detailed photos, item history, condition notes, pricing context against 50,000+ market comps, fake-risk review, and blockchain-anchored documentation. Every listing is prepared by the same curator who sourced and reviewed the piece.
