The Beauty Of Liberty And Equality (Austin Mural Version)
Summary
This 2020 offset lithograph documents the Austin mural version of The Beauty Of Liberty And Equality, a Sandra Chevrier and Shepard Fairey collaboration photographed by Jon Furlong. Measuring 24 by 18 inches in an edition of 500, it marks the centennial of the 19th Amendment, which guaranteed American women's constitutional right to vote.
Why It Matters
The Chevrier x Fairey partnership bridges two distinct visual worlds, and this offset version makes a historically resonant image widely accessible at an edition of 500. Tied explicitly to the suffrage centennial, it carries civic and thematic weight that extends beyond decoration, appealing to collectors of both artists' politically engaged work.
Collector Perspective
As an offset lithograph in a larger run, this is the most attainable form of the collaboration, distinct from the hand-pulled screenprint edition. It documents the Austin mural specifically. Collectors valuing accessibility and the Fairey crossover will find it approachable; verify it is the offset Austin version to set expectations correctly.
Historical Context
The year 2020 marked the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment. Chevrier and Fairey, whose OBEY practice is rooted in social messaging, joined forces on a suffrage-themed image that appeared as a mural. Jon Furlong's photograph anchors this offset edition to that public artwork and its commemorative purpose.

About the Artist
Sandra Chevrier is a Canadian contemporary artist based in Montreal, best known for her ongoing series La Cage, in which she paints delicate female portraits partially overlaid with comic-book imagery. The superhero panels function as a metaphorical "cage," exploring the pressures, expectations, and idealized roles imposed on women. Her mixed-media works combine painting, drawing, and vintage comic collage, and she has exhibited internationally and collaborated on projects including a notable series with Hendrik Beikirch. Chevrier's editioned prints translate her intimate, layered originals to a wider collector audience.
