Vhils’s Knight of Najd: eight editions from the House of Nassr wall

Vhils’s first Knight of Najd collection translated his monumental House of Nassr wall into eight collectible works: the five Legacy screen prints, the lava-stone sculpture Eclipse, and the ceramic panels Pulse and Paragon. The official Al Nassr and Vhils announcement opened reservations on 9 February 2026 and set the purchase launch for 12 February at 3pm Arabian Standard Time, equivalent to noon UTC. Each of the eight works has an edition of 100 plus 10 artist’s proofs. Those allocations belong to each work separately, rather than to a combined set of 100.

The collection starts with a specific architectural commission. At Al Nassr’s headquarters, Vhils carved concrete and introduced gold inlays into a wall associated with Cristiano Ronaldo and the club. The edition announcement connects that intervention to identity, memory, time and resilience. Moving the imagery away from its architectural setting changes how it can be encountered: collectors can compare several views of Ronaldo across paper, volcanic stone and glazed ceramic, rather than acquire a reduced copy of the entire wall.

Five Legacy prints, five distinct compositions

Legacy #1, Legacy #2, Legacy #3, Legacy #4 and Legacy #5 are separate gold screen prints on black paper. The official release describes them as being produced in different sizes. Individual sheet dimensions are not stated in the inspected primary announcement. Their numbered titles are essential identifiers: a listing that says only “Legacy” leaves the particular composition unspecified.

The publisher’s images show substantial differences within the group. Legacy #1 uses a fragmented, partly obscured face; Legacy #2 centres a front-facing portrait in a square composition. Legacy #3 combines a closely cropped face with a geometric pattern. Legacy #4 stretches the image into a strongly horizontal composition, while Legacy #5 returns to an upright portrait with a prominent circular emblem. These differences matter more than a shared black-and-gold palette when choosing a companion work or planning a display.

Stone and ceramic change the comparison

Eclipse carries gold imagery on lava stone. The official announcement describes each piece as uniquely eroded, so an edition number does not imply identical contours or surface texture. A photograph of the actual example is particularly useful for understanding the object’s shape. The announcement describes gold paint; the published artwork card labels its process as screen printing on lava stone. Both descriptions identify a materially different object from the paper editions.

Pulse and Paragon each assemble 16 glazed ceramic tiles into a 56 × 56 cm panel. The official images distinguish a turned-head composition in Pulse from the more frontal portrait in Paragon. Their shared dimensions make them a closely related pair, but the separate titles, images and allocations should remain intact in collection records.

For documentation, retain the full work title, regular-edition or AP designation, edition number and original purchase paperwork. An artist’s proof is a separately designated allocation within the same named work; the announcement does not establish a distinct AP colourway. This February collection also precedes the later Knight of Najd Chapter II mystery-box project, whose 100-image structure follows a different release format. The two chapters should be identified separately when comparing editions or tracing provenance.

Original issue prices have not been established from a primary source. The former Chapter I shop now redirects to the later mystery-box campaign, so its current stock cannot be used to establish availability of the eight February editions.
