'Yuri Gugarin' depicts Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin  (9 March 1934 – 27 March 1968) a Soviet Air Forces pilot and cosmonaut who became the first human to journey into outer space, becoming an international celebrity and was awarded many medals and titles, including Hero of the Soviet Union, his nation's highest honour.

Honoured in The disruptives collection in this limited edition of 50 Pop Art Disruptive print. Signed by the Artist Jim Wheat with his picture duplicated across four squares, each one washed with a neon colour in the style of Pop Art portraiture, and subtly emblazoned with the dollar sign. Focusing the trope of money through people, places, and occasions, Dollarsandart's celebrity prints comment on the tense relationship between fame and finance in contemporary culture.
