AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Artwork Overview
Artist: Shepard Fairey (OBEY)

Series: Box Set "50 Shades of Black" (Special Edition 25th Anniversary)
Year of release: 2014
Support: Cream paper screen print (Speckletone)
Technique: Hand-pulled screenprint
Dimensions: 12 x 12 inches (approx. 30.5 x 30.5 cm) — Vinyl Sleeve format
The version offered 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 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 on 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 (typically bottom right).

Conservation Quality: Use of high-quality pigment inks and archival paper, ensuring exceptional longevity without yellowing.

Display Versatility: Its square "Cover Art" format offers a modern presentation, ideal for wall grids or minimalist framing.
