Mart Signed (XX) - Fuck the Museum (Botticelli's Venus.)

Gallery value: Original Mart Signed stencil works, and not prints, are offered through European galleries with quotations broadly ranging from about 3,000 to 4,000 euros, testimony to the positioning and collecting interest reached by the artist's work. Technique: Spray stencil and mixed media on materials recovered from the street, selected to preserve the identity and authenticity of the street art language. Dimensions: The indicated dimensions refer to the proposed exemplar and should be considered approximate due to the irregular shape and 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 a fragment of street language into homes, galleries, and private collections, transforming a surface marked by time into a contemporary work of art. 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 with the urban context from which street art is born. 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 place. 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 a reproduction. The work depicted in the photographs is exactly the one the collector will receive. Materials and authenticity Materials recovered from the street are chosen to maintain a living relationship with the original language of street art. Marks, abrasions, surface variations, irregularities, and natural imperfections are not defects, but elements belonging to the material’s history and the artwork’s identity. These characteristics are intentionally preserved and integrated into the creative process. The work is signed, accompanied by the artist-signed certificate of authenticity, and delivered ready to hang. The frame is not included, unless otherwise indicated for the specific exemplar. 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 properly tagged may be reposted 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, giveaways, or small gestures related to street art may also be organized through social networks. Participation is optional and independent of the purchase of the work. Any terms and conditions will be 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 into 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 relates street art, urban memory, recovered materials, and space transformation. In 2023, Mart Signed also participated in a documentary dedicated to Banksy and street art culture. Shipping The work is shipped via specialized couriers managed by Mail Boxes Etc. Each piece is carefully packed, protected, and insured, with special attention to the more delicate parts and the irregular shape of the support. The shipment includes full tracking, from departure to delivery. In case of a high number of shipments, preparation and delivery may require a few additional days. For any shipping information, you can contact the artist directly via the platform. Edition and uniqueness Broken Wall comprises a limited series of 20 unique works. Each piece is produced individually and no exemplar can be identical to another. The shape of the support, the fracture, the surface, the marks, the imperfections, and the material characteristics naturally vary from one work to another, making every piece unrepeatable. The 20 works share the same artistic concept and the same core idea, but each maintains its own physical and visual identity. Therefore, this is 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.
