Shepard Fairey (OBEY) (1970) - Third Eye Open Letterpress

Third Eye Open is a limited-edition letterpress art print by Shepard Fairey. It measures 15.25 × 20.5 inches and was released on September 5, 2024 in an edition of 450. The print features a black-and-white illustration of a woman with roses in her hair, a stylized eye, and graphic elements including red accents. Fairey explains that the print builds on a portrait he originally made for his Make Art Not War piece from the Iraq War era. The image includes a “third eye” blooming like a flower, symbolizing a dialogue with one’s inner self, higher consciousness, and a quest for enlightenment — ideas he sees as essential for peace and harmony. The concept extends his familiar theme of “eyes open — mind open,” focusing on looking both outward and inward. Technically, it’s printed on cream cotton paper with hand-deckled edges, signed and numbered by Fairey, and includes a digital certificate of authenticity by Veristart. The print is sold out.
