Released in support of Vote.org, Robert Longo’s new limited edition silkscreen print explores power, politics and the human condition.
Untitled (Sandy) is one of the rarest and best-known figures from Longo’s Men in the Cities series, a collection of graphite and charcoal drawings based on photographs of the artist’s friends and contemporaries taken on the roof of his New York studio in the late 70s and early 80s. Longo used ropes, loud noises and threw objects at his models to achieve the surreal half dancing, half dying movements of his reference imagery – which was partially inspired by the final scenes of Fassbinder’s film The American Soldier (1970).
Frequently imitated but rarely editioned, this release marks the second ever release of Men in the Cities as silkscreens – the first being our 2025 release of Untitled (Eric). Sandy has been deliberately produced at the same scale and dimensions as Eric for repeat collectors who may wish to display the two pieces together.
Our master printmakers have used Longo’s original Kodak transparencies to craft this limited edition print, resulting in a high level of fidelity with the original charcoal drawing.

Robert Longo3 collaborationsRobert Longo’s drawings bring us closer to the images that haunt our collective unconscious. Ironically, his ‘Men in the Cities’ (1979-1983) series has achieved exactly that. The images of contorted bodies in "urban uniforms and Film Noir attire" have ricocheted through culture for decades, finding unsettling parallels in reality. At the core of Robert’s practice is an inquiry into how images become symbols – taking on political, cultural, and metaphysical significance in the social imaginary. Each series interrogates a specific theme or visual motif, such as waves crashing (Monsters, 2000-2021), places of worship (God Machines, 2009-2011), and the American flag (Protocol Verso, 2011-2018).
