About This Print
Mandela is a 2020 screen print by Shepard Fairey, published by Purple Shall Govern in a numbered edition of 300 at 31 x 42 inches. The source describes a five-color silkscreen with varnish on Coventry 100% cotton rag paper, 320 gsm, with a deckled edge. The large-format portrait renders Nelson Mandela in Fairey's bold graphic style. With only minimal descriptive text supplied beyond materials and edition details, the record offers limited interpretive context, but the work clearly belongs to Fairey's portrait practice honoring influential historical and political figures, presented here as a substantial, archival-quality silkscreen.
