“OBEY WITH CAUTION Screen Print 18 x 24 inches Edition of 300” — Shepard Fairey
About This Print
Obey With Caution (2002) is a Shepard Fairey screen print published by Obey Giant in a first edition of 300, measuring 18 x 24 inches. The work pairs the OBEY command with the language and graphics of a warning or caution sign, fusing public-safety signage aesthetics with Fairey's propaganda-poster style. The 'caution' framing turns the OBEY directive into a wry, self-aware warning about obedience itself, built on flat color and bold graphic structure. It is a mid-size early-period screen print from Fairey's Obey Giant studio, with a later 2006 version and a 2017 letterpress edition also issued.
