Collector notes: First Edition; saved release record states an edition size of 150. The saved release record describes: signed. Verify each feature against a documented example of this edition.
Why It Matters
This is an early Kai & Sunny x Shepard Fairey collaboration, predating the 2024 Wild Obey and establishing a working relationship between the studios. Combining the duo's floral abstraction with the OBEY visual language, it appeals to collectors of both artists and carries dual authentication in a manageable square format.
Collector Perspective
An edition of 150 signed by both artists makes this scarce and cross-market—drawing OBEY collectors alongside Kai & Sunny followers. The square 74 x 74 cm format is versatile for framing. Verify both signatures and the number, as collaborative prints warrant careful authentication of each artist's mark.
Historical Context
Unity - Obey Flower belongs to a 2021 Unity series pairing Kai & Sunny with major collaborators—Shepard Fairey here and D*Face in the companion Suck Face Twist. The Unity theme frames these cross-artist works as gestures of solidarity, extending the duo's floral and pattern language into collaborative territory.
