Shepard Fairey Releases in 2015: A Master Index Yearbook
Scope and reading method
This yearbook examines the 21 Shepard Fairey releases recorded in Gauntlet Gallery’s master index for 2015. It is a research-led annual analysis, not a catalogue raisonné, authentication opinion, appraisal, or forecast. The index records a title, year, edition designation, stated edition size, medium, publisher, and—where available—cleaned public-sale observations. Those fields make it possible to read a release year as a body of work rather than as a collection of disconnected marketplace listings.
The records for 2015 span 20 Screen Print, 1 Etching | Lithograph. The publishers recorded in the index are Obey Giant (20), Pace Prints (1). The index currently associates 396 cleaned public-sale observations with this year’s entries; 19 of the 21 releases have at least one qualifying recorded observation. The unweighted median of the entry-level reported medians is $177.92. This statistic is descriptive only. It does not adjust for differing sale dates, condition, framing, provenance, venue, or the fact that some works have substantially more observations than others.
The central discipline of this report is to separate three things that are often blurred together: the edition-level record, the specific physical object, and the market evidence. The edition-level record identifies what the master index says was released. The specific object is what a collector can actually inspect—its paper or substrate, signature, numbering, condition, margins, documentation, and history. Market evidence is a partial set of past transactions, useful for comparison but never a substitute for the object record. Keeping these layers distinct is especially important in Fairey’s practice, where a familiar image can appear across multiple formats, releases, collaborations, or later circulation contexts.
The year in context
Fairey’s practice has long treated the poster as both public signal and private object. The visual vocabulary is recognizable: compressed color, pattern, portraiture, typography, ornamental motifs, and the borrowed authority of propaganda graphics. Yet the index makes clear that each release year is more than a string of branded images. The balance among screenprints, letterpress works, giclée editions, collaborations, music-related subjects, and overtly political titles changes the way a year reads. A collector should therefore begin with the release roster, not simply with the most visible title or highest observed result.
The 2015 index is best read as a working map. It identifies where evidence is dense, where it is thin, and where the object-level questions remain unresolved. A high count of public observations does not automatically mean a work is superior; it means there is more recorded transaction evidence to examine. A zero count does not prove scarcity, value, or absence of demand; it means the current dataset does not contain a qualifying record under this methodology. That restraint is a feature rather than a limitation. It keeps market language from becoming stronger than the data can support.
How to use this annual analysis
Each release dossier below starts from the master-index fields and then outlines the questions that matter when a physical example appears. The sections do not claim visual details that are not present in the index. Instead, they explain how title, medium, edition size, publisher, and the state of the comp record should guide a collector’s next research step. This is the right level of certainty for a data-led index: precise about what the record states, candid about what it does not establish.
For an offered work, save the original listing, request full front and reverse images, inspect signature and edition areas where applicable, and retain any certificate, invoice, or seller correspondence. Ask about condition in specific terms: corners, handling creases, surface rub, tape residue, light exposure, mat burn, water marks, and prior mounting. If framed, ask about glazing and mounting method. These questions are not merely defensive. They make it possible to understand the work as an object, not just as a title attached to a price.
Raise The Caliber
The master index records Raise The Caliber as a 2015 release: First Edition, stated edition size 350, medium Screen Print, published by Obey Giant. This combination of fields establishes the entry’s edition-level identity. It does not establish the condition, completeness, or authenticity of any individual example offered for sale. The first task for a collector is to make sure that a listing’s title, medium, edition language, and publisher information genuinely correspond to this indexed record rather than merely resembling it.
The title itself belongs to the wider field of Fairey’s public-facing image practice, where language, symbolism, portraiture, and graphic design can function simultaneously. The master index is deliberately cautious here: it records the work name but does not attempt to turn an index title into a complete visual description. That restraint matters. A collector should consult high-quality images and primary release information before making a thematic interpretation. What can be said from the record is that Raise The Caliber forms part of the 2015 release roster, and its medium and publisher place it within the production ecology tracked for that year.
Screenprint collectors should assess ink surface, paper character, margins, and handling carefully. The stated edition size of 350 is a supply descriptor, not a ranking system. It can help frame comparisons, but it does not determine desirability, condition, or eventual resale outcomes. A collector comparing examples should ask whether the works are genuinely the same edition, whether the notation is complete, whether any Artist’s Proof or variant language is involved, and whether the listing photographs support the claims being made. A smaller number is not a substitute for a clear object record.
The master index contains 16 cleaned public-sale observations for this entry. Its reported median is $350.00, with an observed low-to-high range of $111.38 to $1,153.40. These figures should be read as a set of past observations, not a valuation. The range may incorporate object-level differences, different sale dates, weak or strong documentation, framing, venue, and catalogue accuracy. Where the count is modest, each sale carries more weight and deserves closer scrutiny. Where the count is larger, it improves the available reference set but still does not remove the need to compare like with like. Asking prices are not included in the logic of this paragraph; completed transactions and listing claims are different kinds of evidence.
For an individual example of Raise The Caliber, build a small research file before committing. Save the listing text, request full front and reverse photographs, inspect the signature and edition area if present, and document the corners and any condition issues. Retain invoices, certificates, and seller messages together. If framed, ask whether the work is floated, hinged, or mounted; ask about glazing, visible margins, and whether the frame is part of the purchase. This object file is a practical form of provenance. It does not manufacture certainty, but it preserves the evidence a collector actually has.
Within the 2015 yearbook, Raise The Caliber is useful as a reminder that a release roster is not a shopping list. The index helps define the field of comparison, while the collector’s work is to decide which image, process, condition state, and documentation standard genuinely fit a collection. The strongest acquisition logic combines visual conviction with clear records and a realistic view of total cost, including shipping, framing, conservation, and the possibility of holding the work for a long time.

It can help frame comparisons, but it does not determine desirability, condition, or eventual resale outcomes. A collector comparing examples should ask whether the works are genuinely the same edition, whether the notation is complete, whether any Artist’s Proof or variant language is involved, and whether the listing photographs support the claims being made. A smaller number is not a substitute for a clear object record.
The master index contains 27 cleaned public-sale observations for this entry. Its reported median is $165.00, with an observed low-to-high range of $100.00 to $350.00. These figures should be read as a set of past observations, not a valuation. The range may incorporate object-level differences, different sale dates, weak or strong documentation, framing, venue, and catalogue accuracy. Where the count is modest, each sale carries more weight and deserves closer scrutiny. Where the count is larger, it improves the available reference set but still does not remove the need to compare like with like. Asking prices are not included in the logic of this paragraph; completed transactions and listing claims are different kinds of evidence.
For an individual example of Corporate Welfare, build a small research file before committing. Save the listing text, request full front and reverse photographs, inspect the signature and edition area if present, and document the corners and any condition issues. Retain invoices, certificates, and seller messages together. If framed, ask whether the work is floated, hinged, or mounted; ask about glazing, visible margins, and whether the frame is part of the purchase. This object file is a practical form of provenance. It does not manufacture certainty, but it preserves the evidence a collector actually has.
Within the 2015 yearbook, Corporate Welfare is useful as a reminder that a release roster is not a shopping list. The index helps define the field of comparison, while the collector’s work is to decide which image, process, condition state, and documentation standard genuinely fit a collection. The strongest acquisition logic combines visual conviction with clear records and a realistic view of total cost, including shipping, framing, conservation, and the possibility of holding the work for a long time.
Fruits Of Our Labor
The master index records Fruits Of Our Labor as a 2015 release: First Edition, stated edition size 450, medium Screen Print, published by Obey Giant. This combination of fields establishes the entry’s edition-level identity. It does not establish the condition, completeness, or authenticity of any individual example offered for sale. The first task for a collector is to make sure that a listing’s title, medium, edition language, and publisher information genuinely correspond to this indexed record rather than merely resembling it.
The title itself belongs to the wider field of Fairey’s public-facing image practice, where language, symbolism, portraiture, and graphic design can function simultaneously. The master index is deliberately cautious here: it records the work name but does not attempt to turn an index title into a complete visual description. That restraint matters. A collector should consult high-quality images and primary release information before making a thematic interpretation. What can be said from the record is that Fruits Of Our Labor forms part of the 2015 release roster, and its medium and publisher place it within the production ecology tracked for that year.

Save the listing text, request full front and reverse photographs, inspect the signature and edition area if present, and document the corners and any condition issues. Retain invoices, certificates, and seller messages together. If framed, ask whether the work is floated, hinged, or mounted; ask about glazing, visible margins, and whether the frame is part of the purchase. This object file is a practical form of provenance. It does not manufacture certainty, but it preserves the evidence a collector actually has.
Within the 2015 yearbook, Bob Marley - Slave Driver is useful as a reminder that a release roster is not a shopping list. The index helps define the field of comparison, while the collector’s work is to decide which image, process, condition state, and documentation standard genuinely fit a collection. The strongest acquisition logic combines visual conviction with clear records and a realistic view of total cost, including shipping, framing, conservation, and the possibility of holding the work for a long time.
Not One More
The master index records Not One More as a 2015 release: First Edition, stated edition size 450, medium Screen Print, published by Obey Giant. This combination of fields establishes the entry’s edition-level identity. It does not establish the condition, completeness, or authenticity of any individual example offered for sale. The first task for a collector is to make sure that a listing’s title, medium, edition language, and publisher information genuinely correspond to this indexed record rather than merely resembling it.
The title itself belongs to the wider field of Fairey’s public-facing image practice, where language, symbolism, portraiture, and graphic design can function simultaneously. The master index is deliberately cautious here: it records the work name but does not attempt to turn an index title into a complete visual description. That restraint matters. A collector should consult high-quality images and primary release information before making a thematic interpretation. What can be said from the record is that Not One More forms part of the 2015 release roster, and its medium and publisher place it within the production ecology tracked for that year.
Screenprint collectors should assess ink surface, paper character, margins, and handling carefully. The stated edition size of 450 is a supply descriptor, not a ranking system. It can help frame comparisons, but it does not determine desirability, condition, or eventual resale outcomes. A collector comparing examples should ask whether the works are genuinely the same edition, whether the notation is complete, whether any Artist’s Proof or variant language is involved, and whether the listing photographs support the claims being made. A smaller number is not a substitute for a clear object record.
The master index contains 19 cleaned public-sale observations for this entry. Its reported median is $175.00, with an observed low-to-high range of $121.00 to $499.99. These figures should be read as a set of past observations, not a valuation. The range may incorporate object-level differences, different sale dates, weak or strong documentation, framing, venue, and catalogue accuracy. Where the count is modest, each sale carries more weight and deserves closer scrutiny. Where the count is larger, it improves the available reference set but still does not remove the need to compare like with like. Asking prices are not included in the logic of this paragraph; completed transactions and listing claims are different kinds of evidence.

Conclusions for 2015
The master-index record for 2015 demonstrates why annual collecting analysis must be both visual and administrative. A Fairey release year can contain a rich range of subjects, production methods, publishers, and levels of market visibility. The index makes that range legible, but it does not erase the differences among individual objects. A collector should use the roster to discover relationships, the comp record to locate questions, and the physical work to make the final judgment.
The practical rule is simple: collect the exact object you can describe, document, and care for—not merely the title that seems most familiar or the number that appears most persuasive. Explore the Shepard Fairey collection, read the buyer’s guide, consult the authentication checklist, and use the price guide as supporting research. The master index is most useful when it encourages better questions and more durable collecting decisions.
