About This Print
Black Keys Portrait is a 2012 signed and numbered screen print by Shepard Fairey, published by Obey Giant in an edition of 550 at 18 x 24 inches. It illustrates the rock duo The Black Keys, based on a photo reference by music photographer Danny Clinch. The work translates a band portrait into Fairey's high-contrast graphic vocabulary, pairing the artist's portraiture style with his ongoing engagement with music culture. Released at a $45 price point, it sits within his run of band and album collaborations, framing a contemporary act in the same bold illustrative treatment Fairey applies across his music-themed editions.
