UNIVERSAL DIGNITY
Work Summary & Collector Notes
The “Universal Dignity” print aims to promote peace, equality, and humanity. I’d like to see a fundamental assumption that ALL people deserve respect and human dignity. This applies to the universal meaning of dignity, to be valued, respected for what you are, what you believe in, and how you live your life. I consider myself a global citizen, and though I think the nations serve a structural function, all people should be equal, and everyone’s life counts the same regardless of where they live. In line with the philosophy of this image, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the IRC ( International Rescue Committee ) to support Ukrainian refugees. Thanks for caring. -Shepard PRINT DETAILS: Universal Dignity. 15 x 19.5 inches. Letterpress on cream cotton paper with hand-deckled edges. Signed by Shepard Fairey. Numbered edition of 450. $95.

Documented History and Meaning
History note: Shepard Fairey's OBEY / Andre the Giant campaign began in 1989 and grew into a long print and public-art practice; this page treats that as career context, not proof that this specific edition belongs to any single exhibition.
Meaning / interpretation: Fairey's practice combines propaganda-style imagery, political and countercultural themes, and a recurring OBEY vocabulary. Subject-specific intent is not assumed here unless the release record states it. This interpretive note follows the cited artist or publisher context.
Release context: The saved catalog lists 2022 and attributes the edition to Obey Giant.
