A striking and rare example from Temper’s groundbreaking 2007 collection A New Day, Sunrise in Florence captures the artist’s seamless transition from graffiti icon to celebrated fine artist.
A New Day comprised 24 figurative works—each representing an hour of the day—and was met with unprecedented demand, selling out within five minutes of its launch at The Mailbox, Birmingham. This landmark collection marked a pivotal moment in the evolution of urban contemporary art, with Temper’s refined yet raw aesthetic garnering mainstream acclaim.
Sunrise in Florence is an Artist’s Proof (AP 2/15) from an exceptionally limited series, with all editions long sold out on the primary market. Artist’s proofs from this collection are particularly scarce and highly sought-after by collectors, cementing its status as a significant and desirable piece within Temper’s body of work.
