Mixed-media and silkscreen on paper
About this work
"Anthology I | Unique" is a one-of-a-kind variant of James McQueen's Anthology series, produced in mixed-media and silkscreen on paper. The designation "Unique" signals that this work has been individually hand-worked beyond the standard edition, introducing elements of mark-making, layering, or intervention that distinguish it from any other impression. McQueen's use of mixed media allows him to disrupt the mechanical regularity of silkscreen with gestural or painterly passages, creating a dialogue between reproduction and originality. Collectors pursuing James McQueen for sale at the unique level enter a category of works with heightened scarcity and individual character. The piece exemplifies Guy Hepner's programme of offering not only edition prints but also the rare unique works that sit at the apex of an artist's printed output. Guy Hepner remains one of New York's leading sources for significant contemporary prints and mixed-media works on paper. Available for sale at Guy Hepner Gallery, New York.

About James McQueen
James McQueen Paintings for Sale | Guy Hepner, New York
James McQueen is a British artist born in 1977 whose paintings sit at the intersection of Pop sensibility, material obsession, and dry British wit. He works under a pseudonym, and his identity is secondary to the work — which is the point. What matters is what ends up on the canvas.
McQueen's paintings are built, not simply applied. He works in layers — paint over paint, colour over colour — then sands the surface back to expose what lies beneath, then seals it in lacquer. The result is a depth that photographs struggle to capture. These are surfaces you need to stand in front of.
His subject matter has ranged from reinterpreted Penguin paperback covers to politically charged commentary to the large-scale mixed-media Anthology works now available through Guy Hepner. Across all of it runs a consistent preoccupation: the visual language of mass culture, rendered monumental and unfamiliar by the seriousness of the craft brought to bear on it.
McQueen has shown extensively in London and is represented in significant private collections internationally.
