Hi

I have the below Shep potentially for sale.


A truly iconic image and certainly one of a kind.

Heavily collaged and layered.


It was thrown up by Shep himself back in 2007 in the ‘Cargo’ tunnel on Rivington Street. See the photo below as evidence.

I was in the right place at the right time when the council were literally ripping it off the wall.

Sold as framed.

110cm x 90cm

Hard to value but send me your best offers.

Photo’s to follow.

This is the photo of the tunnel before the council got to work. The piece I salvaged is middle’ish at the bottom.

Not a 'work of art' in technical terms, but my god is this a fantastic piece.

Thank you for saving this to be enjoyed, as opposed to being in a landfill somewhere.

Great piece, I'd love to own it but no idea how to value something like this. Would love to hear people's thoughts to discern if I'd like to take a stab at it.

Cool piece but unfortunately not “fine art”.

So what depicts ‘fine art’ from ‘art? An original from a print?Sorry but I don’t follow...

To me ‘fine art’ is a pretty flawed term from the off

This wasn't produced by the artist to be a "work of art", especially as it's only a ripped section of a bigger piece.

So it looks a bit like one of Fairey's originals, but actually it isn't much different to me slapping glue over a Fairey poster and tearing it.

Ok so all are happy I am not proclaiming this to be fine art.

Thank you for all the interest and all the pm’s. Still for sale.

YES! Let me get my popcorn ready and watch the “it’s a piece taken from the street that was never meant to be sold” vs. the “it was going to be destroyed so what’s the problem” argument play itself out.

The failure to sell might (at least in part) be down to subject matter.

She's a colourful, militant individual but with a very mixed legacy.

Among politically-informed art collectors who aspire to liberal values — meaning they detest all forms of totalitarianism, and are wary of ideologues, fellow travellers and regime apologists — query how many would be comfortable hanging a portrait of Angela Davis on their wall.
