Artist Statement
“VISUAL POLLUTION SMOKE STACKS Screen Print 18 x 24 inches Edition of 200” — Shepard Fairey
About This Print
Visual Pollution Smoke Stacks is a 2001 Shepard Fairey screen print published by Obey Giant in a first edition of 200, measuring 18 x 24 inches. The title and imagery center on industrial smokestacks, framing pollution as both a literal and visual phenomenon. The record assigns it a pop-culture primary theme and an environment-and-climate secondary theme, marking it as one of Fairey's earlier engagements with ecological subject matter. The source confirms medium, year, dimensions, and edition size but provides no extended artist statement, so the precise composition is not detailed beyond the smokestack subject here.
