“BIG BROTHER CITY Screen Print 18 x 24 inches Edition of 350 $35” — Shepard Fairey
About This Print
Big Brother City is a 2007 screen print by Shepard Fairey, published by Obey Giant in a first edition of 350 at 18 x 24 inches. Drawing on Orwellian surveillance imagery, the print extends Fairey's long-running Big Brother motif into an urban setting, using his characteristic high-contrast graphic style. The work visualizes themes of watching, control, and the modern city as a space of monitored life. Released at an accessible original price, it belongs to Fairey's recurring series of surveillance-critical images that question authority and the apparatus of observation.
