Jonone (1963) - Strictly For Made Men (rare lithograph)

Published by Les Lézarts Urbains, who have supported JonOne for many years, and printed on the renowned Marinoni presses at IDEM Paris, this lithograph on sand-colored paper is highly characteristic of JonOne’s work, with its repetitive lines inherited from the “punishment” style of graffiti.
This example is an artist’s proof, numbered EA 30/30, giving it a distinct and special status. The lithograph was removed from its tube for photography purposes.

Born in 1963, JonOne, often referred to as the most "French" of American artists, is among the top three figures in the French street art scene. Legend has it that JonOne began graffiti at the age of 17 out of love for a girl, and he has been obsessively repeating his own name ever since. JonOne left New York for Paris in 1987 and spent the 1990s and 2000s living in squats. At the time, he had few supporters and little money, but these years of hardship contributed to the JonOne legend and the iconic, charismatic figure he is today.

Since 2008, JonOne’s work has captivated collectors, driven by the street art market boom, which he helped fuel. Fifteen years later, JonOne remains a must-have artist, highly sought after by collectors who enjoy tracking down his older works and different creative periods to enrich their collections.
