“AMERICA'S FINEST Screen Print 18 x 24 inches Edition of 140” — Shepard Fairey
About This Print
America's Finest is a 2000 screen print by Shepard Fairey, published by Obey Giant in a first edition of 140 at 18 x 24 inches. The record lists an original price of $25. Its title and dual classification under collaborations/pop culture and politics/democracy point to American civic imagery, though the source provides no narrative description of the depicted subject. As a small-edition early-era screen print, it sits within Fairey's foundational Obey Giant output, with its title gesturing toward themes of patriotism and authority that recur across his work.
