Artist Statement
“Renowned political artist Shepard Fairey spoofs his 2008 Obama "HOPE" poster in this gorgeous print. He has offered our donors a very limited edition of 200 signed and numbered screenprints, approximately 24x36" — and absolutely gorgeous. It's incredibly rare for an artist of this caliber to spoof his own work, but he believes strongly in this cause. We are so honored to have them.” — Shepard Fairey
About This Print
SOLD is a 2014 Shepard Fairey screen print released through an Indiegogo campaign. As described in the source, Fairey spoofs his own 2008 Obama HOPE poster in this image. It is a signed and numbered first edition of 200, measuring approximately 24 x 36 inches, originally offered at $200. The source notes it is unusual for an artist of Fairey's stature to parody his own famous work, which he did here in support of a cause tied to the crowdfunding campaign. The piece reworks the iconic HOPE composition into a new statement, making it a self-referential political and pop-culture print.
