About This Print
The Beloved Premiere, We Are Blinded By Your Majesty is a 2003 signed screen print published in connection with MOCA Los Angeles in an edition of 60. It is a three-color screenprint measuring 26 x 32 inches on 250 gsm Coventry Rag paper, printed at Modern Multiples by Richard Duardo and Robert Acosta. Also known as "LACMA" and "Mao Money Red," the work pairs Fairey's recurring Mao-derived imagery with themes of consumerism and power. The small signed edition, fine paper stock, and named master printers mark it as a more deliberate studio production than his standard poster runs. Source facts confirm the year, edition, dimensions, paper, and printers.
