“NOUVEAU RED Screen Print 18 x 24 inches Edition of 200” — Shepard Fairey
About This Print
Nouveau (Red) is a 2006 Shepard Fairey screen print published by Obey Giant in an edition of 200, measuring 18 x 24 inches. Issued as part of a two-color release available in Black and Red variants, the print applies Fairey's decorative, Art Nouveau-influenced ornamental framing to his signature graphic vocabulary. The Red colorway gives the design a warm, high-contrast presentation. Released at an original price of $30 as a standard-format screen print, it belongs to Fairey's mid-2000s Obey Giant output and reflects his recurring use of patterned, ornamental motifs alongside his pop-culture and propaganda imagery.
