About This Print
Rise Above Fist is a 2006 large-format screen print published by Obey Giant, measuring 42 by 29 inches in an edition of 50. The source identifies it as part of the RISE ABOVE Series that debuted at the Merry Karnowsky opening in Los Angeles, offered at $400. The title centers on a raised fist, a long-standing emblem of resistance and solidarity, paired in the series with the aspirational RISE ABOVE message. The theme signal also notes an angel motif. As a small-edition large-format screen print, it functions as a gallery-scale work within Fairey's RISE ABOVE body of work.
