Falling Flag
2025
Robert Longo ’s Untitled (Falling Flag) is a signed limited edition print from 2025, featuring a dramatically rendered American flag set against a deep black void. The flag occupies only the lower portion of the composition, appearing to collapse or descend, while the surrounding darkness amplifies its symbolic tension. Produced as a screenprint with varnish on Somerset paper, the work captures the depth and texture of Longo’s charcoal-based imagery through complex grayscale layering. The intense black field functions as a conceptual space, suggesting absence, instability, and the fragility of power structures. A recurring motif in Longo’s practice, the American flag becomes here a charged symbol of democracy, protest, and contemporary political uncertainty. Issued in an edition of 415 and hand-signed and numbered, Falling Flag is a compelling example of contemporary political art .
