Wasted Youth / Your Eyes Here (CAC Malaga Edition)

Work Summary & Collector Notes

"Wasted Youth / Your Eyes Here (CAC Málaga Edition)" is a 2015 screen print published by Obey Giant, created as a collaboration between Shepard Fairey and British artist D*Face to mark their simultaneous shows at the CAC Málaga in Spain. It measures 18 x 24 inches, printed on thick white cotton archival paper, and is signed by both artists in a numbered edition of 400. The design merges the two artists' imagery using a shared black, red, and silver palette.

Historical Context

In the artist's words / from the release record:

“"WASTED YOUTH / YOUR EYES HERE" (CAC MALAGA EDITION) D*Face and I enjoy collaborating and we both agreed that it would be great to do a print to celebrate our simultaneous shows at the CAC Málaga. We used very different color palettes in our murals there so we decided that since we both liked black, red, and silver – that we could put our chromatic differences aside and join forces on those three colors for the print. I'd still recommend seeing the murals in person if you have the opportunity, but this print is an avatar I can be proud of. All of the prints are signed by me and D*Face so you

Market Context

1. 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.
2. Min / max sale. The lowest and highest individual recorded sale prices; the range shows dispersion, not a guaranteed band.
3. Recorded comps. The number of independent comparable sales; reliability rises with sample size (1–2 sales are indicative only).
4. 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.
5. Estimate confidence. A traffic-light read on how well the data supports the estimate: green high, yellow medium, red low / indicative.
6. 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.
7. 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.
