About This Print
It's Mourning In America is a 2011 screen print by Shepard Fairey, published by Obey Giant in a signed and numbered first edition of 450, measuring 18 x 24 inches. It was printed on off-white paper rather than Fairey's usual Speckletone, and a portion of proceeds went to a campaign finance reform organization. The title plays on a famous American political slogan, signaling commentary on politics and democracy. As an accessible, mid-volume poster-scale edition with a stated cause, it sits among Fairey's politically engaged screen-print releases rather than his small deluxe large formats.
