Amsterdam Icon XXX (Offset Lithograph)

Work Summary & Collector Notes

Amsterdam Icon XXX (Offset Lithograph) is a 2023 offset lithograph published by the Straat Museum, measuring 24 x 36 inches (60.96 x 91.44 cm) on thick white paper. The source describes it as an open, unnumbered edition signed by Shepard Fairey. It centers on the OBEY icon imagery associated with Fairey's signature visual language. Source detail is limited beyond format, dimensions, signing, and publisher, so this entry is written cautiously based on the available facts: an open-edition OBEY icon offset lithograph tied to the Straat Museum in Amsterdam.
