“WORLD ODOR Screen Print 18 x 24 inches Edition of 300” — Shepard Fairey
About This Print
World Odor is a 2004 Shepard Fairey screen print, published by Obey Giant in a First Edition of 300 and measuring 18 x 24 inches. The title is a satirical pun on "world order," using wordplay to critique the rhetoric of global power and political authority. The work employs Fairey's propaganda-poster vocabulary: bold flat color, institutional graphic forms, and prominent typography. As a mid-2000s Obey Giant edition on paper, it sits within Fairey's body of politically pointed, slogan-driven prints from that period.
