“24? x 36? Offset Poster. Signed, Open Edition. $35 Available on 8/16/11” — Shepard Fairey
About This Print
Obey Eye (Offset Poster) is a 2011 Shepard Fairey offset lithograph, 24 x 36 inches, issued as a signed open edition at $35 and available August 16, 2011. Published by Obey Giant, the poster centers on the OBEY eye motif, a recurring element of Fairey's surveillance and propaganda iconography. As an open-edition offset print rather than a numbered screen print, it was positioned as an affordable, widely available release. The source is brief, giving format, dimensions, price, and availability rather than a detailed description, so interpretation here stays grounded in those facts and the established meaning of the OBEY eye imagery.
