About This Print
Art Is For Everybody is a 2020 Shepard Fairey letterpress print made as an homage to Keith Haring. Printed on cream cotton paper with hand-deckled edges, it measures 14.5 x 19 inches, is signed, and was issued in a numbered edition of 450. Based on a reference photo by Paulo Fridman, the work celebrates Haring's belief that 'the public has a right to art' and his model of funding accessible work through fine art. At $80, the relatively affordable price echoes that democratic ideal. A portion of proceeds went to the Ali Forney Center.
