If you’ve been a fan of the GM brand for some time now, then you know the drill—our annual Prada Marfa sale is back for a (very) limited time! Although this sale spans only two short days, we look forward to it every year, and fall more and more in love with this classic series each time. Prada Marfa was one of Gray’s earliest collections of work (and we’re not exaggerating—he sold out his first Prada Marfa images when he was still selling his work at the flea market!) and we love it just as much to this day. With a history that spans almost 10 years, we’ve covered the ins and outs of this remote location, and the series that Gray created there, to a tee. So with that said, we thought we’d take y’all on a little trip down memory lane to celebrate our Prada Marfa sale going on now. Consider this the “best of” Prada Marfa over the years, and don’t forget to snag a little piece of this iconic series for yourself before our sale ends tomorrow!

We mentioned a thing or two about the origins of Prada Marfa above, but if you want to know exactly what this art installation is, how Gray thought up this concept, and a little bit about the behind-the-scenes of creating the series, then don’t miss this one.
