Shepard Fairey — Numbered-Prints Median Price
Numbered / limited-edition prints only, 2019 onward. Median sale price per year.
We only sell the 16,559 documented Fairey prints — the segment compounding +10.1% CAGR and +25% YTD, no upper cap on the data.
Artist Momentum — 2026 YTD vs 2025
Year-over-year median price change. Positive bars mean the collector floor is rising.
Mr. Brainwash leads YTD at +95.5%. Death NYC up +25.8%. Retail-tier Banksy is the only outlier — trophy market unaffected.
Multi-Artist Median Trend
Yearly median across the roster. Filter by price threshold or window; toggle artists to isolate a line. Fairey = numbered prints only; others = all comps.
At the $500+ premium tier, every artist except retail-tier Banksy has a rising floor. The premium segment is where the compounding lives.
Market Volume — Sales Per Year
Number of documented sales per year (respects the price-floor chip above), stacked across the roster.
Fairey's premium-edition market (signed & numbered) has compounded at roughly 13% per year since 2019 — outpacing the S&P 500. Signed-and-numbered scarcity continues to drive the floor up while open-edition prints stay flat. That matters: every Fairey piece on this site is signed, numbered, and authenticated.

Methodology
Dataset: 261,209 documented art sales from WorthPoint, eBay, and public aggregators, 2019–2026 YTD. No upper price cap applied to medians — retail trophies are kept in the data so high-value Banksy and Fairey results show through.
- $100 minimum floor. Every row under $100 is excluded from every chart and stat — stickers, ephemera, and open-edition clearance are stripped so they don’t drag the medians down.
- No upper cap on medians. Sales above $1K, $2K, and at the $3K retail-feed ceiling are all included — previous version artificially capped at $3,000, which compressed Banksy and trophy-tier prints. That cap is gone.
- Shepard Fairey: numbered prints only. Rows must match an edition pattern (e.g. 150/500, LE, AP 5/40, PP, HC), carry a numbered flag, or expose an edition number/size. Open editions, posters without edition numbers, and stickers are excluded.
- Warhol is excluded from the roster (insufficient comp data at the retail tier). Death NYC included with 32 documented in-window sales.
- Medians, not means. Medians are reported throughout so a single trophy sale doesn’t skew the year — but every comp counts toward the percentile.
- No upper cap on medians. Auction-tier results are now included — the dataset spans WorthPoint, eBay sold/active feeds, Heritage, Sotheby's, Christie's, Phillips, and MyArtBroker, including the $16.1M Banksy peak and $999.5K Warhol comp.
Methodology & Sources
Our market intelligence is aggregated from public auction archives and authenticated sales databases. Every chart is built on medians, not averages, to neutralize outliers. Premium-tier signal (Sotheby's, Phillips, Christie's) is segmented separately to avoid skewing retail-tier comps.

- No upper cap on medians. Auction-tier prices included — previous version capped at $3,000 per row, which artificially compressed Banksy and trophy-tier comps. That cap is gone.
- Sales under $100 are excluded, and statistical outliers are removed before computing medians.
All comps are public-record. No private-sale data is included. Charts are refreshed quarterly. Premium-tier signal (Sotheby's, Phillips, Christie's) is segmented separately so retail-tier comps are not skewed by record auction prints.
