Series: Box set "50 Shades of Black" (Special 25th Anniversary Edition)
Publication year: 2014
Support: Screenprint on cream speckled paper (Speckletone)

This work is from the iconic series produced to celebrate a quarter-century of graphic dissidence. 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 work is hand-signed and dated by Shepard Fairey in pencil (usually bottom right).
Conservation quality: Use of high-quality pigment inks and archival paper, ensuring exceptional longevity without yellowing.
Versatility of display: Its square "Cover Art" format lends itself to a modern presentation, ideal for wall grids or minimalist framing.
