Description from the seller
Conquer Babylon (artist proof)Original Groove (artist proof)
Presentation of the Work
Artist: Shepard Fairey (OBEY)
Series: Box Set "50 Shades of Black" (Special 25th Anniversary Edition)
Year of release: 2014
Support: Cream paper silkscreen (Speckletone)
Technique: Hand-pulled screenprint

The version offered is an AP Artist Proof
This work comes from the iconic series produced to celebrate a quarter of a century of graphic dissent. The "50 Shades of Black" style stands out with a minimalist yet powerful palette: black, metallic gold, and cream.
The aesthetics borrow from the codes of Soviet propaganda, vintage advertising, and the punk movement. Unlike large-format posters, this 12x12 format pays homage to the major influence of music and DJ culture in Fairey’s work.
Rarity of the Edition: These silkscreens come from a box set limited to only 450 copies worldwide.
Signature: Each piece is hand-signed and dated by Shepard Fairey in pencil (usually bottom right).
Condition quality: Use of high-quality pigment inks and archival paper, ensuring exceptional longevity without yellowing.
Display versatility: Its square "Cover Art" format allows for a modern presentation, ideal for wall grids or minimalist framing.
