The Provocateurs

APC ART is pleased to offer our global collector base this absolutely stunning, large–scale work from one of the most important contemporary artists of the 21st century, Marquis Lewis (A/K/A “ RETNA ”). This screen print, executed in 2014, was released as part of the famed Provocateurs Portfolio . Measuring an impressive 34 x 24 inches (38 x 28 inches framed to museum standards), this edition of 200 is hand–signed by the artist in graphite pencil, lower right. The work has been exquisitely presented in a contemporary white, hand–cut frame with anti–UV glass, a framing choice that not only protects the piece but also elevates its commanding presence.
