All auctions / Contemporary Art / Mart Signed (XX) - Because it's no longer fashionable to kiss in the rain..


Galler-y value: Original Mart Signed stencil works, not prints, are offered through European galleries with indicative price ranges between 3,000 and 4,000 euros, testifying to the positioning and collecting interest the artist’s work has reached. Technique: Spray stencil and mixed media on recovered street materials, selected to preserve the identity and authenticity of the street art language. Dimensions: The indicated dimensions refer to the specific piece offered and should be considered approximate due to the shape and irregular perimeter of the fragment. Certificate of authenticity: Included and signed by the artist. Broken Wall Broken Wall arises from Mart Signed’s exploration of the relationship between street art, matter, and urban memory. The project brings into homes, galleries, and private collections a fragment of the street language, transforming a surface marked by time into a contemporary art piece. The wall is not merely the support for the image, but becomes an integral part of the work. Its surface, the cracks, the traces of time, and the natural characteristics of the material preserve the link to the urban context from which street art originates. The fracture thus becomes an element of the artistic language: the boundary between the street and the exhibition space is broken, and the urban fragment finds a new placement. The work The work does not impose an answer, but leaves each observer free to find their own interpretation. The stencil is created directly on the support: this is not a print or reproduction. The work depicted in the photographs is exactly the one that will be received by the collector. Materials and authenticity Materials recovered from the street are chosen to maintain the living relationship with the original street art language. Marks, abrasions, surface variations, irregularities, and natural imperfections are not defects, but elements that belong to the history of the material and the identity of the work. These characteristics are intentionally preserved and integrated into the creative process. The work is signed, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist, and delivered ready to hang. The frame is not included, unless otherwise indicated for a specific piece. Instagram and project participation The journey of the work can continue even after purchase. Collectors can share their work on Instagram by tagging @martsigned and using the hashtag #MartSigned. Works correctly tagged may be reshared by the artist through their channels, showing the different destinations reached by the works and creating a direct connection between artist, collector, and audience. Periodically, special initiatives, raffles, or small gifts related to street art may also be organized through social networks. Participation is voluntary and independent of the purchase of the work. Any modalities and conditions are communicated through the artist’s official channels. The artist Mart Signed is an Italian street artist active internationally. His works are part of private collections in numerous countries, and his artistic research develops around the concept “Where Are You Street Art?”: bringing the language and material of the street inside homes, galleries, private collections, and spaces traditionally distant from the urban context. Over the years Mart Signed has developed an international presence through collaborations and relationships with different players in the art world. His research connects street art, urban memory, recovered materials, and the transformation of space. In 2023 Mart Signed also participated in a documentary dedicated to Banksy and the street art culture. Shipping The piece is shipped via specialized couriers managed by Mail Boxes Etc. Each work is carefully packaged, protected, and insured, with particular attention to the more delicate parts and to the irregular shape of the support. The shipment includes complete tracking, from departure to delivery. In case of a large number of shipments, preparation and delivery may require a few additional days. For any information regarding shipping, you can contact the artist directly through the platform. Edition and uniqueness Broken Wall comprises a limited series of 20 unique works. Each piece is created individually and no two pieces can be identical. The shape of the support, the fracture, the surface, marks, imperfections, and material characteristics naturally vary from one work to another, making each piece unrepeatable. The 20 works share the same artistic concept and the same core idea, but each retains its own physical and visual identity. Therefore, they are not 20 copies or reproductions of the same work, but 20 unique and different pieces, all belonging to the Broken Wall series. Each work is identified by a specific code printed on the certificate of authenticity.
