Death NYC — The Beatles Abbey Road × Louis Vuitton × Union Jack

Hand-Signed 2020 · Numbered /100 · Custom Red Floating Acrylic Frame

The Most Iconic Album Cover × Luxury Monogram · Death & Co. Published

What You Are Getting

An authentic Death NYC signed and hand-numbered pop art print (2020) featuring the most iconic album cover in music history — The Beatles crossing Abbey Road — reworked in Death NYC's signature visual vocabulary. All four Beatles are rendered walking the crosswalk in Louis Vuitton monogram suits (grey, brown, dark brown, and cream), set against a splatter-painted Union Jack background in bold red, white, and blue that explodes across the composition in Pollock-inspired drip gesture.

The print is hand-signed in graphite by Death NYC in the lower-left margin and dated 2020, hand-numbered in pencil in the lower-right margin from a limited edition of 100. This work was published by Death & Co., New York and typically carries the publisher's blind stamp to the lower-left margin — consistent with verified examples of this edition traded through EBTH Auctions and Ross's Auctioneers.

Presented in a custom red translucent floating acrylic frame with magnetic mount — a bespoke gallery-grade presentation where the print floats inside a tinted red field that tonally echoes the Union Jack's red stripes and the overall chromatic energy of the work. Ready to hang or display, no additional framing required.

About the Work

The Source Imagery. The Beatles crossed Abbey Road in London on August 8, 1969, photographed by Iain Macmillan for what would become the cover of the band's eleventh studio album, released on September 26, 1969 on Apple Records. Abbey Road is consistently ranked among the greatest albums of all time and the cover — four musicians walking a zebra crossing in perfect stride — is among the most parodied, referenced, and instantly recognizable images in 20th-century culture. The Beatles' catalog has been added to the UNESCO Memory of the World Register and remains the best-selling music catalog in history.

The Death NYC Treatment. Death NYC takes three of the most potent visual icons of 20th-century culture — Abbey Road, the Union Jack, and the Louis Vuitton monogram — and fuses them into a single statement on Britain, celebrity, and luxury consumption. Each Beatle wears a different Louis Vuitton suit variant (Harrison in grey LV denim; McCartney in brown LV; Lennon in dark brown LV; Starr in cream LV). The Union Jack splatter background positions the band as British cultural export while the Pollock-inspired paint-splash gesture deconstructs the flag itself — patriotism as unstable pigment.

Market & Format. This Abbey Road × LV edition has traded through EBTH Auctions (where a 2020 example numbered 24/100 with Death & Co. blind stamp was catalogued in detail), Ross's Auctioneers (UK), eBay, Poshmark, and specialty street-art dealers. Abbey Road–themed and Beatles-themed pieces represent the highest subject-weight tier in Death NYC's celebrity catalog, frequently selling at the top end of her print market alongside her Marilyn Monroe, Warhol, and KAWS × LV works. The landscape format is scarcer than her standard portrait-format prints, adding collectibility.
