“CATWOMAN SWINDLE Screen Print 18 x 24 inches Edition of 300” — Shepard Fairey
About This Print
Catwoman Swindle is a 2002 screen print by Shepard Fairey, published by Obey Giant in a first-edition run of 300, measuring 18 x 24 inches. The work centers on a female figure rendered in Fairey's high-contrast graphic style, drawing on comic-book and pop-culture iconography. The title's 'Swindle' framing connects it to Fairey's recurring play on appropriated imagery and media spectacle. The composition uses bold flat fields and stylized linework typical of his early-2000s output, presenting a woman as a strong central subject. Source fields tie it to themes of civil rights and justice alongside pop-culture collaboration.
