AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Printed in a limited edition of only 1,000 copies, the Manchester invasion map is one of the rarest maps released by Invader. Designed as a collectible object for flasheurs and collectors, it documents the mosaics installed by the artist across the industrial city of Manchester.
Highly sought after due to its low print run, this invasion map is now difficult to find on the secondary market and represents a key piece within Invader’s cartographic editions.
• Edition of 1,000 copies
• Dimensions when unfolded: 42 × 60 cm
• Carefully stored flat
• In excellent condition
• The invasion map you are purchasing is the one shown in our photos
Born in 1969, Invader is now certainly considered, alongside Banksy, one of the most famous street artists in the world. It all began in the late 1990s when the Parisian artist decided to install his first mosaic in the streets, referencing the 1980s arcade game Space Invaders. To date, he has installed over 4000 of these mosaics, more than 1500 of which are in Paris. The Flash Invader app, created in 2014, has given him access to an enormous international audience, now boasting nearly 30 million flashes to date.
His work extends across prints, invasion kits, aliases, works made from Rubik’s Cubes, and other pieces and objects that play with pixels and reflect broader popular culture. His fan base is extensive; they are the ones who eagerly buy every book and produce the artist regularly releases, as demonstrated by the major retrospective exhibition held in Paris in 2024.
With several auction records, including a piece that sold for over a million euros in 2015, his works are highly valuable today, and collectors compete to acquire their desired pieces. Invader remains a cornerstone of French urban art, regardless of the work or object.
