“ISLAM Screen Print 18 x 24 inches Edition of 100” — Shepard Fairey
About This Print
Islam is a 1998 Shepard Fairey screen print published by Obey Giant in a first edition of 100, measuring 18 x 24 inches. The print takes its title and subject from the word and imagery of Islam, rendered in Fairey's flat, high-contrast propaganda-poster style. As with the other late-1990s editions, it isolates a loaded cultural and ideological theme and reframes it through the visual vocabulary of mass-produced propaganda. The source record provides limited descriptive detail beyond title, date, medium, dimensions, and edition, so its precise imagery and intent are interpreted cautiously here within the context of Fairey's surrounding 1998 work.
