SHEPARD FAIREY

John Lennon "Peace" — Statue of Liberty Edition

Hand-Signed by Shepard Fairey · Hand-Numbered 240/300 · Limited Edition

What You Are Getting

An authentic Shepard Fairey screenprint depicting John Lennon in his iconic NYC silhouette — military-style trench coat, beret, round sunglasses, peace sign raised — set against the Statue of Liberty haloed by a rising sun. Printed in Fairey's signature palette of muted blue, cream, red, and gold with halftone dot patterns and chevron underlay. Hand-numbered 240/300 in pencil and pencil-signed by Shepard Fairey. A relatively small edition for Fairey, making this a more scarce release than the typical 450-edition prints.

Note: The "Reminder: peel off protective films" text visible in the listing photos is the protective plastic on the acrylic glazing of the display frame — it is not printed on the artwork. The actual print surface is clean.

About the Work

John Lennon's NYC era — from his 1971 move to Manhattan through his murder outside the Dakota in December 1980 — produced some of the most enduring photographic images of any musician of the 20th century. The trench-coat-and-NYC-tee silhouette has become permanent visual shorthand for late-period Lennon, peace activism, and the American immigrant story. Shepard Fairey draws those threads together here: Lennon raises a peace sign in the foreground while the Statue of Liberty — the most direct visual symbol of welcome and political idealism in the United States — rises behind him with a sun-disc halo.

The composition fits cleanly into Fairey's larger body of musician portraits (Joe Strummer, Debbie Harry, Bob Marley, Joey Ramone) and his political work. At an edition of 300, this is a relatively scarce Fairey release — most signed editions run 450 or higher.
