Wow they have a lot of Obey prints available. $3000 for a Hello Kitty pink, I think I have one of those somewhere.

For Sale

OBAMA HOPE

by SHEPARD FAIREY (2008)
Signed offset. Colorado stop on the Obama campaign fundraising trail. Blackbook Gallery provenance.

7k usd, will meet east coast usa or will trade for an iconic invader tile or print (no weeds, scooters or mirrors)

[cest]

Willing to take serious offers to see where this is at

[stuckeyc]

Out of curiosity is this a paster or the signed offset

[Fast Eddie]

Some pasters (the thin paper version, which is different for the thick stock paper edition of 600) were signed by Shep at events, like the ones run by Blackbook Gallery. From the description it looks like one of those pasters. Provenance is very important for these.

[anodyne13]

Agree. Also the charity editions are on a different paper than paster paper (which is very thin) but the charity paper is definitely much thinner than the thick edition of 600 paper. 

[cest]

Updated- removed "paster"

Airtight provenance with bb coa. You can call Tom and verify my ownership

[jimmyjam]

I thought the ones bb were selling the last couple of years for 4K were the paster ones he signed during a campaign stop which Tom arranged. They are very thin. Could you post a photo?

[Deleted]

yes, great piece but very unsure about the price here. seems way off to me but happy to be proven wrong

[cest]

So , previously it showed sold out at bbg, but it appears he has at least one left.

www.bbgcheckout.com/products/shepard-fairey-obama-hope-paster

I will offer this up for 8k usd

A Progress in Sothebys but tiny and an edition of 400. Never seen this one before and surprisesd it's a screen print. Anyone know the background of this one? Was actually wondering if it is a legitimate edition.

Good looooong thread on it here:



Yes it’s a legitimate edition, but seems almost undiscovered compared to the rest!

Yawn, people can call Tom and ask if the coa is linked to me..also since when is a street art paster measured by sharpie vs pencil. Shows how much of pompous tool you are.

In the street art world Tom and this event were/are repped. Your computer warrior skills just show you're a dork

Tom aka HORNET on eBay?  They been banging these out on fleabay for years son, LMFAO...

C'mon you like his nephew or something?  Niece?  Shep will sign these thin ass pasters in the same marker anytime you approach him.  Hey! Christies! I have to call up Tom From BB to make sure it's legit.  The legit ones were sold on the site and should come with email receipt.  

[stuckeyc]

Tom/blackbook are good people and were (not sure if they still are) official obey resellers. They were definitely involved in a campaign event. the campaign posters of which this is one are different from the offsets sold through the obey but are still official. I think the stock they are on is thinner. blackbook is not sitting around printing bootleg posters and if it was purchased through blackbook it is legit.

where is Rufio when you need him...

[Daniel Silk]

Do you think the demand for these Shepard Fairey HOPE prints night dwindle as each year passes and the importance of Barack Obama slowly gets forgotten? Or do you think the images popularity will grow as an iconic image of the time?

[Fast Eddie]

I think history is history. This print comes to represent the 2008 US Presidential Election not just in Urban Art, but in Contemporary Art more generally. It is both a powerful political piece and a beautiful design.
