Power & Glory (Blue)

Work Summary & Collector Notes

Power & Glory (Blue) is a 2014 Shepard Fairey signed limited-edition screen print, published in association with the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art. It measures 24 x 36 inches and is a signed edition of 200, issued in blue as one of several color variants (Blue, Dark Metallic Gold, and Red). The work engages Fairey's themes of collaborations and pop culture alongside a secondary theme of consumerism and power. Its title and imagery reflect Fairey's recurring interrogation of authority and the iconography of power, rendered in his signature bold, graphic screen-print style.
