Teufelsberg

1UPCREW, “Teufelsberg” (2020) is a limited edition giclee and 2-color screen print with varnish effects on 300 gsm Somerset fine art paper. The sheet measures 21.75 x 29.5 inches and includes the edition number (47/125) and publisher’s chop in the lower left, and the artist’s signature in the lower right. The work of art has been matted and placed in a 24.25 x 36.25-inch black metal frame. “Teufelsberg” refers to the largest outdoor art gallery in the world located in Berlin, Germany at the site of an abandoned spy station building (with radar spy domes) that signified the Cold War. For years now, artists have been adorning the walls of the former spy station with some of the best and iconic street art and graffiti. ‘1UPCREW’ is a team of Berlin-based graffiti artists and daredevils known as much for their athleticism as their art due to the challenging locations of their tags, including on walls, rooftops, tunnels, and subway cars (in motion!)
