Absolutely right.
Is Shepard is in love with «  German film stars » ?
I mean does he live women as a perfection or to make perfection with a character that is a woman ( I know about , without any comparison, I m trying to do my best , drawing the best visage of a woman as religions or painters made with virgin or infante, trying to touch the supreme innocence, the grace and the beauty, purity... symbols of gods, golds, childhood, etc
It’s a bit boring at the end : women or girls ladies mostly, then some colors.. then under the press each month ... ok print ntscare not expensive but i don’t like the already “ wow » because it looks as always “ prefect ».
I like imperfections.
But I can understand that, at the first glance the “ wow 😮 “ !

No, they just work well with his Russian Constructivism-influenced art.

you are again right. I have forgot to speak about revolution Russia propaganda

DOPE arse print dropping on Thursday

My Obey Fire Sale print is a comment on the challenges any individual faces pushing for environmental and climate responsibility, especially when confronted with the massive power of fossil fuel industries whose short-sighted, profit-driven tactics include lobbying and bribing politicians who are supposed to work for the citizenry. The term “fire sale” means the liquidation of goods damaged in a fire, or it can mean a rush to sell off inventory before a bankruptcy. I was actually finished with this art before the record number of California wildfires broke out, but the literal fires, which climatologists say are a symptom of climate change, only amplify what I meant as a metaphorical critique of our short-sightedness which will lead to fire sales in low lying areas from Louisiana, to Florida, to Bangladesh. We need to vote and put pressure on the politicians and the corporations. The future depends on it! I'm donating proceeds from this print to The Climate Reality Project. Thanks for caring!
-Shepard

Obey Fire Sale. 18 x 24 inches. Screen print on cream Speckle Tone paper. Signed by Shepard Fairey. Numbered edition of 550. $55. Available Thursday, August 16th

 
 The print is ok as a decorative print, an attractive woman with a bit of environmental flannel added appeals to some I guess but I do wish he would cut out his smarmy pseudo concern for everything from the environment to womens rights to giant goats in space.

 Lecturing about fossil fuels the hypocrit.

I guess delivery is only by sailing ship or albatros heading the buyers way.

From what I see in other comment sections in other places the usual response to this is "you must be a lot of fun at parties."

This "Fire Sale" print should push the value of Target Exceptions through the roof

I'm asking why you think this new release will have an impact on another print's value that has no connection to this one. Supply and demand can explain why TE is currently fetching 4-500$ vs what a less desirable Fairey print gets but IMO it doesn't explain whatsoever the point you're trying to make.

[clueless]

Easy +1. Just like always.

Should have been easier for folks, considering an extra 40 more than normal went up for sale.

Because Target Exceptions is the top print so far to come out of this series.  This Series meaning the new approach to the screen prints with the multi layering of stencils and soft blue pallet.

I say that Target Exceptions is the "top print" because it has a crazy demand and also for the fact that the original canvas sold for an astronomical, record breaking figure.

I do agree that there is a big gap right now in the value of the older pieces.  There has to be a price correction for his vintage work in the future.  They are way to cheap compared to the new stuff.

All of that being said this Fire Sale print is really really nice and I see this one going through the roof in the next 12 months, but I do not think it will surpass Target Exceptions demand wise.  This will inherently raise the value of TE.  I hope this answered your question.

I had to decide between a few more hours on a sunny beach and catching this release... the beach and a drink won 😊

" profit-driven tactics "

In Faireys own words.

I don't mind his kitch photo shopped stitched together prints but do wish Fairey would leave out the lecturing.


  Where would we be without fossil fuels.

 One reason could be because Fairey makes art which appeals to what is fashionable over these past years. Art that appeals to skateboarders and social justice warriors.

I'm not sure that the very rich apart from wealthy music and hip hop Beyonce types or whatever is fashionable these days who buy blue chip art for investment would be very interested in adding a Fairey to their wall.

Anyone still interested in the Fairey Geometric Dove set? I received it and realized it's not going to fit in my 18x24 profolio (should have paid better attention to the dimensions). Looking for $200 picked up in NYC.

$250 for editon of 500 is very expense for bad art. Shame on giant

Thanks for the pointer. Interesting.

And that's why it is still sitting on the website. Can't remember a print not being sold out for that long for a very long time.

Looks like they took it down but it's not in the Print Archive. Haven't seen that before.
