Scope and method
This long-form study examines the 98 Shepard Fairey releases recorded in the Gauntlet Gallery master index for 2008 through 2011, using the lens of release roster. Its purpose is to consider how the title sequence, years, and release cadence create a usable comparative map. The index is a research tool, not a catalogue raisonné, authentication service, appraisal, or investment forecast. It records edition-level fields—title, year, edition designation, stated edition size, medium, publisher, and observed public-sale evidence where available—so collectors can compare releases with greater precision.
Across this era, the index records 88 Screen Print, 4 Offset Lithograph, 2 Screen Print | Portfolio, 2 , 2 Lithograph. Recorded publishers include Obey Giant (86), Subliminal Projects (5), Upper Deck (2), Penguin Books (2), Robert Rauschenberg Foundation (1), Poster Child Prints (1), Obey Clothing (1). The era has 1378 cleaned public-sale observations in aggregate. That aggregate is context, not a value judgment. It combines different works, conditions, venues, and moments in the market, and it should never be applied mechanically to a specific object.
The study makes a deliberate distinction between a release record and an offered work. The release record tells us what the index says was issued. An offered work must still be inspected for its exact physical attributes: signature and numbering where applicable, dimensions, paper or substrate, condition, margins, framing, documentation, and chain of custody. The index tells a collector which questions to ask; the object and its evidence determine the answer.
Reading an era through a single lens
Shepard Fairey’s practice moves between public graphic language and private collectible objects. The same broad vocabulary—compressed color, typography, pattern, portraiture, and the visual authority of posters—can appear in works produced through very different media and publication contexts. A lens-based reading is useful because it resists the urge to make every release mean the same thing. It allows a collector to compare what the data actually supplies while keeping visual interpretation and object inspection appropriately separate.
The release notes below are selected checkpoints across the era. They are not a ranking. Each uses the master-index fields to explain why the work is relevant to the release roster question and why any individual acquisition still requires close object-level review.
Tyranny Has A Witness
The master index lists Tyranny Has A Witness as a 2011 Screen Print, published by Obey Giant, with a stated First Edition edition of 450. As a roster entry, it helps show how a release year is built from a sequence of titles and production choices rather than a single headline image. These are edition-level facts. They identify the indexed release, but they do not prove that every listing using the title describes the same object accurately.
For an individual work, request a full front image, reverse image, close views of signature or numbering where applicable, all four corners, and any certificate or invoice. Match the stated medium and edition language to the physical evidence. If framed, ask about mounting, glazing, visible margins, and whether the frame is included. On paper works, handling creases, surface rub, tape residue, light exposure, mat burn, moisture marks, and prior mounting can change the object’s condition story materially.
The index records 7 cleaned public-sale observations and a reported entry-level median of $199.00. This is descriptive evidence, not a valuation of any offered example. Completed-sale data can inform a comparison only after condition, edition designation, date, venue, documentation, and presentation have been considered. Asking prices, incomplete listing language, and unverified claims are not interchangeable with recorded transactions. Where evidence is thin, the appropriate conclusion is simply that the evidence is thin.
The collector’s durable record should include the original listing, messages, invoice, arrival photographs, and condition notes. This file creates a practical ownership trail for framing, conservation, insurance, and any future transfer. It also keeps the distinction clear between the artist’s edition and the specific object that enters a collection.

The index records 12 cleaned public-sale observations and a reported entry-level median of $450.00. This is descriptive evidence, not a valuation of any offered example. Completed-sale data can inform a comparison only after condition, edition designation, date, venue, documentation, and presentation have been considered. Asking prices, incomplete listing language, and unverified claims are not interchangeable with recorded transactions. Where evidence is thin, the appropriate conclusion is simply that the evidence is thin.
The collector’s durable record should include the original listing, messages, invoice, arrival photographs, and condition notes. This file creates a practical ownership trail for framing, conservation, insurance, and any future transfer.

Research appendix: 2008–2011 and the release roster lens
An index-led study is most useful when it increases the quality of questions rather than the speed of conclusions. The master index makes it easier to identify a release, trace a stated edition structure, and recognize whether a market record exists. It cannot replace the evidence attached to a physical object. That is why the collector workflow remains consistent across every era and lens: identify the exact index entry; preserve the offered listing; inspect images and paperwork; compare only genuinely comparable sales; and record what remains uncertain.
This method is particularly important when the information is attractive but incomplete. A familiar title, a low edition figure, a strong asking price, or a seller’s confidence can each exert pressure on a decision. None is enough on its own. A more durable approach weighs the artwork’s visual conviction alongside the object record, the documented condition, and the total cost of ownership. That includes framing, shipping, insurance, conservation, and the possibility that an artwork may be held for a long time rather than resold quickly.
Collectors may organize an era through political subjects, music-related work, ornamental imagery, a preferred medium, publisher relationships, or the way several images converse on a wall. Research does not remove taste. It makes taste legible and gives it a clearer factual basis. Explore the Shepard Fairey collection, the buyer’s guide, the authentication checklist, and the price guide as supporting resources.
