About This Print
Coup D'Etat is a 2012 signed screen print by Shepard Fairey, measuring 18 x 24 inches in a first edition of 450. Released through Obey Giant at $45 with a limit of one per person, the work uses Fairey's characteristic high-contrast graphic style to address themes of power and political upheaval, as suggested by its title. It sits within his broader engagement with critiques of authority and consumer-political symbolism, presented in the accessible standard-edition format that defines much of his Obey Giant catalog.
