Stay Up Girl (Offset Lithograph)
Work Summary & Collector Notes
Stay Up Girl is a 2019 offset lithograph by Shepard Fairey, published by Obey Giant on cream Speckle Tone paper, measuring 24 x 36 inches and signed by the artist. It was issued as an open edition at an original price of $35. The source provides limited descriptive detail beyond medium, size, paper, and edition type. As an OBEY-branded offset lithograph, it represents the more affordable, widely accessible side of Fairey's output, produced as a signed open edition rather than a numbered limited run.
