What You Are Getting
You are acquiring a hand-signed, numbered limited edition screen print by one of the most influential street artists of his generation — Shepard Fairey, operating under the iconic OBEY Giant banner. Titled Let Fury Have the Hour — Film Poster, this 18 × 24 inch screen print was produced in January 2013 as an official collaboration with documentary filmmaker Antonino D'Ambrosio, whose film of the same name drew from the legacy of The Clash to explore creative activism, social justice, and the enduring question: "What kind of world do you want to live in?"
The design is pure Fairey canon: a bold globe motif ringed by a laurel-chevron wreath, a five-pointed star, and a peace dove rendered in Fairey's signature high-contrast red, navy, and cream palette — equal parts WPA propaganda poster and punk broadside. The visual language is unmistakably OBEY, carrying the same graphic urgency that made Fairey's Hope poster a defining image of a generation. Printed on thick cream Speckletone fine art paper, the ink saturation and registration are crisp and gallery-ready.
This edition was pencil-signed in the lower margin by both Shepard Fairey and Antonino D'Ambrosio, making it a dual-signature collectible — a rare distinction that elevates its cultural and monetary value well above single-signed equivalents. Edition number 178 of just 450 worldwide confirms this is a tightly-controlled, sold-out release that has never been re-issued by Obey Giant.
A portion of proceeds from the original release benefited the La Lutta Creative Response Think Tank, lending this print an activist provenance consistent with Fairey's lifelong ethos that art is inseparable from resistance. For collectors of street art, political printmaking, music culture, or Fairey's extensive catalogue, this is a standout acquisition.

About the Work
Let Fury Have the Hour is rooted in a Clash lyric and a burning cultural question. Director Antonino D'Ambrosio's documentary — featuring interviews with Shepard Fairey himself alongside Chuck D, Tom Morello, Wayne Kramer (MC5), and Ian MacKaye — frames creative resistance as the antidote to political and social decay. Fairey was deeply embedded in the project, contributing to the film's titles and artwork, and the resulting print is part of the documentary's official visual identity, not a peripheral merchandise piece.
The central medallion design pulls directly from Fairey's longstanding Peace Globe iconography, a motif he has deployed across campaigns addressing war, environmental collapse, and civic disengagement. The wheat-sheaf chevrons encircling the globe carry echoes of both Soviet-era constructivist graphics and United Nations symbolism — repurposed here not for propaganda but for its inversion. The peace dove disrupting the star's geometry is the signature twist: hope inside the machinery of power. At the base, a diagonal field of red and navy — the OBEY house palette — anchors the composition and carries the film's title in Fairey's bold slab-serif lettering. It is a complete, self-contained statement.
The print sold out immediately on release at obeygiant.com for $55. Secondary market prices for signed editions in comparable condition have since traded well above that original price point, reflecting Fairey's sustained market strength and the cultural weight of this specific collaboration.
About the Artist
Shepard Fairey (b. 1970, Charleston, SC) is one of the most recognized names in contemporary street art and graphic design. A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, Fairey began his career with the viral Andre the Giant Has a Posse sticker campaign in 1989, which evolved into the global OBEY Giant brand — a decades-long interrogation of propaganda, obedience, and the mechanics of visual persuasion. His work spans wheatpaste murals, limited edition screen prints, fine art canvases, brand collaborations, and large-scale public installations across five continents.
Fairey entered the mainstream cultural canon with his 2008 Hope poster for Barack Obama's presidential campaign — an image that became the defining political graphic of the 21st century and is now held in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery. His prints are collected globally and appear regularly at major auction houses including Heritage, Bonhams, and Sotheby's. His activist ethos has never softened: across more than three decades, his imagery has remained a consistent vehicle for anti-war, pro-environment, and social justice messaging.

SHEPARD FAIREY
Few contemporary artists have bridged underground culture and institutional recognition as effectively as Shepard Fairey. Emerging from skate and punk subcultures with the original Obey Giant campaign, he built a visual language rooted in propaganda aesthetics, bold iconography, and political commentary.
What makes Fairey compelling for collectors isn’t just name recognition — it’s durability. His work sits at the intersection of activism, design, and pop culture. \
From the globally recognized Hope poster to decades of tightly controlled screenprint editions, he has demonstrated both cultural relevance and disciplined market structure.
Institutional validation from MoMA, the Smithsonian, and the V&A reinforces long-term credibility. Meanwhile, secondary market data shows consistent liquidity and steady appreciation across core prints.
For collectors, this is cultural equity with infrastructure behind it — not trend-driven volatility.
