Best Memories of an Unforgettable Evening, 2024

At the heart of Noir’s practice is a commitment to accessibility and freedom of expression. His instantly recognisable figures, often painted in vivid blocks of colour, reflect both childlike joy and a deeper social commentary. By painting in public spaces and adopting a deliberately simple style, Noir sought to make art for everyone, breaking down barriers between art and everyday life. His work embodies the spirit of street art as a medium of resistance, optimism, and community.

From an investment perspective, Thierry Noir’s works have grown steadily in demand as collectors recognise his historic role in both the fall of the Berlin Wall and the rise of street art as a global movement. His paintings, works on paper, and editioned prints offer strong entry points into his market, while large-scale works remain highly coveted. Noir’s unique position as both a cultural icon and contemporary artist ensures that his works carry enduring historical and financial value.

Bents Contemporary regularly deals in both Thierry Noir prints and original works. We offer discrete services in acquisitions and sales, so please get in touch with our private sales department if you are interested.
