Mona Haring | Angel Ortiz (LA II / LA2)

An authentic masterpiece by the legendary Angel Ortiz (LA II), "Mona Haring" represents a visceral and high-octane reclamation of classical art history. In this work, Ortiz applies his world-famous "wild-style" graffiti scrawl over the iconic visage of the Mona Lisa, effectively pulling the Renaissance into the heart of the 1980s New York street scene. As Keith Haring’s primary collaborator, Ortiz provided the "street" DNA for many of the era's most famous images, and this original work pulses with that same kinetic energy.

The piece is saturated with the trademark symbols that defined the partnership between Haring and LA II, including the bold, gestural dollar signs ($) and the dense, rhythmic paint-marker linework that fills every inch of the composition. The use of vibrant, electric yellow highlights against the dark, sepia tones of the subject creates a work that feels both historical and aggressively modern. Housed in a heavily ornate, baroque-style black frame, the artwork creates a stunning juxtaposition between "High Art" and the "King of the Streets." For a discerning collector in Ascot, Sunningdale, or Virginia Water, this is a museum-quality original that serves as a direct, tangible link to the golden age of NYC graffiti.
