About This Print
Idiocracy is an 18-by-24-inch screen print by Shepard Fairey, published by Mondo in 2016 and printed by Obey Giant. It was a signed and hand-numbered timed edition available for 72 hours, with the edition number 2016 echoing the release year. The source states that 100% of proceeds went to the League of Women Voters and Young Literati. Built on Fairey's OBEY iconography with a civil-rights-and-justice dimension, the work ties its title and imagery to themes of civic awareness and voting, released as a benefit print during a charged election-year moment.
