“Screen Print 18 x 24 inches Edition of 300” — Shepard Fairey
About This Print
Tupac (Blue) is a 2004 Shepard Fairey screen print published by Obey Giant in an edition of 300, measuring 18 x 24 inches and originally priced at $30. Part of a two-color release available in Blue and Red, this Blue variant depicts the late rapper Tupac Shakur in Fairey's flat, high-contrast portrait style. The print belongs to his recurring series of music-figure portraits, rendering one of hip-hop's most iconic artists in the graphic, poster-influenced vocabulary he used across his mid-2000s Obey Giant editions. As a standard 18-by-24 screen print, it reflects the accessible format of the period.
