At these prices I am definitely a buyer...

How much do we think for an Obama Progress print? Obviously not cheap.. but what are we thinking?

[sarin69]

Does anyone know a gallery or professional that can quote a replacement price for an insurance claim for a Shepard Fairey print? I bought the print from Seth Carmichael gallery and the letter of authenticity does not have a sale date or price on it.
M16 vs. AK-47 H/C large print originally sold at Merry Karnowsky gallery in 2006.
It is a signed H/C print but in mint condition. The insurance investigator stated they could only find the small version of that print and did not consider the rarity of an H/C print.

I don't think there is a small version of the print (m16 vs ak47) you are talking about.   Its part of the Rise Above series shown below.    I also don't think that it being an h/c makes it worth more or less then a PP, AP, or reg edition.   If its an hpm then its worth quite a bit more.

Has anyone seen or know of a Universal Personhood 2 HPM for sale and what the estimated cost of one would be?

[siveone]

Any idea, if this elephant paster poster is original from the Obey studio. It's a silkscreen on thin paper. The sun pattern graphic is quite different from the original print. It has a bump/bend in the middle of the paper. Is this maybe a test print, a real obey paster or just trash? I don't have any idea. If its original from Fairey, have you any price idea. The seller wants 100usd incl. Shipping. Any support or judgement is helpful. Thank you Kai

[avec art]

I don't think that is a silkscreen. It's not even signed and the seller wants $1000 !!! please

Dear yes it's unsigned. It's a silkscreen. I have seen this in person. The seller wants a bit less 100,- usd.

[avec art]

If you've seen it, and you're convinced that's ok then. If it is like you say for a $100 I think that's a nice thing and popular image.

If definitely a silk screen print, then no one would go to the lengths to create all the screens required to make that, so almost certainly is by Shep. Someone must know if these were ever sold as an unsigned open edition at some point.

These were never sold to the public as an unsigned/unnumbered 18x24 screen prints

Do you think it's a original paster from the Obey studio?

The moire effect in the sun gradient makes me think it's a copy made by scanning an original.

I don't know why these would have been made as pasters!? They're not that type of poster.

Thanks everyone for their discussion and thoughts to this print.


I made some further research on the world wide web 😆

And the result: The silkscreen is a original paster of Fairey.


Obey made these in 2008 in an edition of 250. He used these as pasters at the South by Southwest festival in Austin TX in 2009.

Some of the pastors were handed to passerbys.

Here is an old sales thread of one of them: www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/shepard-fairey-obey-giant-peace-1922722354


And here is a report about his installations with an image, where you can see the Elephant paster in the background of Mujer Fatale, and a video, where some elephant paster prints are laying on the ground (1:16 min):

www.killahbeez.com/2009/04/09/video-obey-installation-at-sxsw/


The gradient of the pasters is the same like the one I posted with the mistakes. Maybe this happened in generating the graphic to print. It's cool that Shep uses screenprints as wallpasters.


So I will go for the print.


Thanks you for your help and comments again.


All the best 

Kai

I’m guessing your insurance claim has been settled by now

Like Craig said, no small version of this image
I’m not sure what your abbreviation H/C stands for but if yours is from the MK show in 2006 I think you have the HPM version, I don’t think they had the Rise Above editions of 50 at the show or even avail from the gallery afterwards.
If your insurance company compared what you have to a smaller non H/C (whatever H/C means) then Im guessing they compared what you own to some 18 x 24 screenprint edition of 300 that was originally $35 or whatever.
Or maybe they compared it to the Guns and Roses 24 x 36 offset? It’s a similar image.
If you have a large HPM you need to tell your insurance guy to start looking to auction results for comparable sales not eBay.

Nice. How much was the rubylith and know if they're still available somewhere?

Looking for price check on protect the sacred /450

Thanks

[cest]

Also price check on the "ride for the roses" with lance's face

[Faile 313]

Might anyone have a guess a unframed 2006 Large Format Rise Above Cop Edition of 50. I asked last year and didn't get much feedback.

According to Expresso Beans it traded between $1400 - $2400 between 2009 and 2016. It has not traded since. How have Fairey's prices changed in the last two years?

[WOOF]

Lookin' for any guidance on price for...

Big Brother Is Watching You, x/300 - 2006
Sticker Kit Print, x/450 - 2009
Natural Springs, x/450 - 2015
POP Wave Blue, x/300 -2016
Damaged Wrong Path Mural Large Format, x/75 - 2018

[kaimac]

Price check on the blue and red Biggies. Anyone have any guidance for me on what I should expect to pay?
