Artist Statement
“Screen Print 18 x 24 inches Edition of 100” — Shepard Fairey
About This Print
Giant Glow (First Edition) is a 1997 screen print published by Obey Giant, measuring 18 x 24 inches; the record's description states an edition of 100, though the structured edition-count field is blank. The work features Fairey's core OBEY Giant iconography, rendered in his early propaganda-poster style with bold graphic framing. As an early hand-pulled screen print, it belongs to his foundational late-1990s output that translated the OBEY street campaign into collectible editions. The print centers the Andre the Giant-derived Giant face motif that anchors the OBEY brand's visual identity.
