Description from the seller
National Acrobat (artist proof)
Overview of the Work
Artist: Shepard Fairey (OBEY)
Series: Box Set "50 Shades of Black" (Special 25th Anniversary Edition)
Publication year: 2014
Medium: Silkscreen on cream paper (Speckletone)
Technique: Hand-pulled screenprint
Dimensions: 12 x 12 inches (approx. 30.5 x 30.5 cm) — Vinyl sleeve format
the proposed version is an AP Artist Proof
This work is part of the iconic series produced to celebrate a quarter-century of graphic dissidence. The style "50 Shades of Black" is defined by a minimalist yet powerful palette: black, metallic gold, and cream.
The aesthetics draw on 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 work is hand-signed and dated by Shepard Fairey in pencil (usually bottom right).
Preservation quality: Use of high-quality pigment inks and archival paper, guaranteeing exceptional longevity without yellowing.
Display versatility: Its square "Cover Art" format allows a modern display, ideal for wall grids or minimalist framing.
