Work Summary & Collector Notes
Iggy And The Stooges 2013 is an 18 x 24 inch screen print published by Obey Giant in a numbered edition of 450. Fairey created it as the poster for the band's headlining set at the C2SV Festival in San Jose on September 28, 2013. The imagery draws on photographs supplied by collaborators: Robert Matheu shot the portrait of guitarist James Williamson, and Jennifer Anderson took the Iggy Pop photo. Of the 450-print edition, 250 were made available online via obeygiant.com beginning September 26, 2013, with the remaining 200 sold on site at the C2SV Festival.

Market Context
- Estimated value. The median of recorded public sale prices for this piece, matched by title and colorway. We use the median (not the average) because it resists outliers.
- Min / max sale. The lowest and highest individual recorded sale prices; the range shows dispersion, not a guaranteed band.
- Recorded comps. The number of independent comparable sales; reliability rises with sample size (1–2 sales are indicative only).
- Liquidity & sales volume. Our liquidity rating reflects sales velocity — the number of recorded comparable sales and how recent the latest sale is. More frequent and more recent sales rate as more liquid (Highly Liquid → Liquid → Moderate → Thin → Very Thin); a piece with no recorded public sales is Extremely Rare.
- Estimate confidence. A traffic-light read on how well the data supports the estimate: green high, yellow medium, red low / indicative.
- Data source & currency. Compiled from recorded public marketplace and auction sales of US$200 or more, in US dollars, as of the latest recorded sale shown. Coverage is not exhaustive.
- Not financial or investment advice. For collector reference only — not an appraisal, offer, or guarantee of resale value. Art is volatile and illiquid; do your own research. Use is subject to our Terms & Conditions.
