Originally published in Madrid by Port Said Ediciones (1984), this commanding masterwork captures the peak graphic genius of Javier de Juan (born 1958) during the height of Spain’s mid-1980s cultural renaissance. ​• Gallery Valuation: Comparable large-format limited editions by Javier de Juan from the Movida period command retail gallery prices between €650 and €750 in contemporary art galleries across Madrid and Barcelona. ​• The Composition & Iconography: Titled "El Ciclista" (The Cyclist), this dynamic urban narrative centers on a man in a textured grey coat maneuvering his bicycle down a bustling city street, checking his wristwatch as he glances back at an elegant woman in a vibrant red-and-yellow coat. The background is rich with stylized urban life, featuring figures in polka-dot shirts, architectural silhouettes, and faint street/brand tags such as "ROLEX" and "RICARD" beneath an expressive turquoise sky. ​• Printing & Technique: Meticulously executed via traditional screenprinting (serigraphy) on heavy, exceptionally thick fine art paper (heavyweight rag art stock) in an impressive 70 x 100 cm format. The screenprint process beautifully highlights De Juan's signature layered crayon textures, deep charcoal contours, and saturated pigments. ​Technical Specifications: • Artist: Javier de Juan (b. 1958, Madrid) • Title: "El Ciclista" • Publisher: Port Said Ediciones (Madrid, Spain) • Year: 1984 • Edition: Strictly limited to 99 copies; hand-numbered 38/99 in pencil (lower-left corner) • Signature: Personally hand-signed by the artist in pencil (lower-right margin) • Medium: Original multi-color silkscreen / serigraph on heavy fine-art paper • Dimensions: 70 x 100 cm (sheet size) • Condition: Near Mint (Archive State) ​Condition Report: • Sourced directly from flat archival storage, never framed, mounted, or exposed to UV light. • Fresh, highly saturated pigments throughout. • Clean margins, straight edges, and crisp corners; completely free from folds, tears, tape residues, or restoration.
