“3-color relief print on handmade paper, 40 ½ x 30 ½ inches, Edition of 25, Published by Pace Editions, Inc.” — Shepard Fairey
About This Print
Black Gold is a 2015 Shepard Fairey relief print, published by Pace Editions (Pace Prints) on September 17, 2015. It is a 3-color relief print on handmade paper, measuring 40 1/2 x 30 1/2 inches, in an edition of 25. As a large-format, hand-printed relief work on handmade paper from a fine-art publisher, it sits apart from Fairey's higher-volume Obey Giant screen prints. The title evokes oil and the consumerist-power themes Fairey returns to throughout his work, rendered at scale in his bold, graphic visual language.
