About This Print
Minneapolis Stay Up (Blue) is a 2005 Shepard Fairey screen print published by Obey Giant in an edition of 300, measuring 18 x 24 inches. It is the blue colorway of the design, which was also issued in red. The image belongs to Fairey's "Stay Up" street-art-rooted motif, rendering graffiti-culture language in his flat, high-contrast graphic style. Released at an original price of $30, it sits among his accessible mid-2000s screen-print editions. The print pairs bold typographic and emblematic elements with Fairey's signature limited palette, reflecting his roots in poster and sticker street campaigns.
