About This Print
Retro Series - Obey '95 is a 2006 large-format screen print published by Obey Giant, measuring 42 by 30 inches in a signed and numbered edition of 89. Part of a series created to commemorate the release of Shepard Fairey's monograph Supply and Demand, the print isolates the GIANT ICON Face as it appeared in 1995, capturing one stage in the design's evolution. The work was offered individually at $400 or as a set, with set buyers receiving a signed copy of the book. Rendered in Fairey's bold OBEY iconography, it presents the recognizable face image at a deliberately large scale.
