AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An iconic work from JR’s celebrated Women Are Heroes series, Favela (2009) transforms the architecture of Rio de Janeiro’s hillside communities into a monumental photographic collage. Combining striking portraiture with bold urban intervention, JR’s work blurs the line between street art, photography and social commentary. This impression captures the energy and scale of one of the artist’s most recognised projects, making it a compelling piece for collectors of contemporary and politically engaged art.
Artwork in very good condition. Colours are vivid and bright. Soft undulation to the edges, a few handling crease within bottom left of the print measuring 3cm. Light areas of surface dirt localised to the margin and a small stain in the bottom centre of the margin. Minor loss of surface texture as a result of tape removal only seen on the back of the print which does not detract from the artwork.
The work is hand-signed by the artist and numbered from the edition of 200. Professionally shipped by DHL.
