AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Original paste-up by the world-renowned British street artist D*Face. This piece is an iconic reinterpretation of the famous portrait of Che Guevara, fused with the artist's characteristic 'a-pop-calittica' aesthetic, featuring a skull and stylized wings on the beret.
The work was recovered directly from the walls in France, making it a unique piece of urban street art history. It is not a commercial print, but a manifesto posted by the artist (or their team) and subsequently removed, preserving all the texture and character of the street.
Work details

D*Face (British 1978-), 'Cli-Che', 2007

• Artist: D*Face (Dean Stockton)
Subject: Guerrilla / Che Guevara Skull
Technique: Printing on billboard paper with a typical halftone dot pattern and bold graphic strokes.
Provenance: Recovered from an external wall (France).
Conditions: The piece shows signs of aging and outdoor exposure. Layers of paper, traces of original glue, small abrasions, and creases are visible, attesting to its urban authenticity. These 'defects' are an integral part of the charm of detached street art.
Why buy it?
D*Face is one of the giants of the Street Art movement, contemporary with Banksy and Shepard Fairey (Obey). His street installations are increasingly rare to find intact. This piece is perfect for framing (perhaps with a 'float' mount that shows the irregular edges) to add an industrial and authentic touch to any contemporary art collection.
