Moonage Daydream (Timed Edition)
Work Summary & Collector Notes
Moonage Daydream (Timed Edition) is a 2022 Shepard Fairey screen print measuring 18 x 24 inches, published by Mondo as a timed edition. The work is a portrait of David Bowie, which the source says Fairey based on outtakes from the Ziggy Stardust cover shoot, taking some artistic liberties to craft a new portrait illustration of the musician. Fairey describes Bowie as one of his favorite artists ever and references what he considers the era of Bowie's peak creative genius. As a timed edition, the print run was determined by orders placed within a set window rather than a fixed pre-set number. It pairs Fairey's portrait style with music-icon subject matter.

Historical Context
In the artist's words / from the release record:
“"For this MOONAGE DAYDREAM print image, I was able to reference outtakes from the ZIGGY cover shoot, one of which I thought, with a few artistic liberties taken, could become a great portrait illustration. Bowie was incredibly photogenic, which yielded so many glorious images of him, and makes it a challenge to create a new visage that stands with the rest of his most iconic portraits. It is very meaningful for me to have the opportunity to craft my articulation of one of my favorite artists ever, from possibly the era of his peak creative genius.” — Shepard Fairey

Market Context
- Estimated value. The median of recorded public sale prices for this piece, matched by title and colorway. We use the median (not the average) because it resists outliers.
- Min / max sale. The lowest and highest individual recorded sale prices; the range shows dispersion, not a guaranteed band.
- Recorded comps. The number of independent comparable sales; reliability rises with sample size (1–2 sales are indicative only).
- Liquidity & sales volume. Our liquidity rating reflects sales velocity — the number of recorded comparable sales and how recent the latest sale is. More frequent and more recent sales rate as more liquid (Highly Liquid → Liquid → Moderate → Thin → Very Thin); a piece with no recorded public sales is Extremely Rare.
- Indicative estimate. Where recorded sales are very limited (1–2), the figure is treated as indicative only — not a firm market value; a single sale can move it materially.
- Estimate confidence. A traffic-light read on how well the data supports the estimate: green high, yellow medium, red low / indicative.
- Data source & currency. Compiled from recorded public marketplace and auction sales of US$200 or more, in US dollars, as of the latest recorded sale shown. Coverage is not exhaustive.
- Not financial or investment advice. For collector reference only — not an appraisal, offer, or guarantee of resale value. Art is volatile and illiquid; do your own research. Use is subject to our Terms & Conditions.
