AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Presentation of the Work
Artist: Shepard Fairey (OBEY)
Series: Box Set "50 Shades of Black" (Special Edition 25th Anniversary)
Publication year: 2014
Support: Creme paper screen print (Speckletone)
Technique: Manual screenprint (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 comes from the iconic series produced to celebrate a quarter-century of graphic dissent. The "50 Shades of Black" style is distinguished by 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 screenprints 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).
Preservation quality: Use of high-quality pigment inks and archival paper, ensuring exceptional longevity without yellowing.
Display versatility: Its square "Cover Art" format allows a modern display, ideal for wall grids or minimalist framing.
