About This Print
Commanda Mural is a 2015 print released by Obey Giant as a co-publishing collaboration with Vienna's Ernst Hilger Gallery, based on a mural Fairey painted in Vienna. Measuring 17 x 21.5 inches on 100% cotton rag paper, it combines an etching-like heliograph process on a zinc plate, hand-printed for the black areas, with lithography for the color. It was printed by Stamperia Carini in San Giovanni Valdarno, Italy. Signed and numbered in an edition of 389, it references the mural's 2013 source imagery and was released March 17, 2015, at $250.
