Record Auction Result for Shepard Fairey At Sotherby's

[vic]

Good for him. One of the best

[WOOF]

Well deserved.

[Winter]

Iconic image

[Pawel]

Meh, Still nowhere near Mr Doodle record.
Would you prefer to have this on the wall or a signed GWRB?

[Red Barron]

Fully agree, happy for Shep!

[Red Barron]

Personally, would take Obama Hope. Maybe it is my bias as an American given how iconic the image has become as well as how proud I felt of my country in electing Obama in 2008. Also, one of my favorite Mandela quotes is “May your choices reflect your hopes not your fears” and I always associated this image with that positive message.

This one by far.
Although Banksy being a greater artist than Fairey.

That piece looks great. It is powerful, popular, iconic and very influential. The estimates were very low for such an important piece.

I do be amazed at the prices of large originals and HPMs, they are reasonable when compared a lot of other artists.

FYI me and my banker friends are about that Renaissance Technologies level, not your Sunday bank cashiers...

Search going well for the Banksy OG, thanks for you all.

Trump makes folks miss Obama more.

I'd love to have an image on my wall that reminded me every day about the legacy of collateral murder from drones and the imprisonment of underage illegal immigrants.

this picture always shocked me. A Nobel Peace Prize Winner watching how the execution he order was being made. And yes, he deserved the worst, but the fact is that it was a cold blood killing after his orders

While I'd choose him over Bush or Trump any time. That said after 8 years of his presidency people elected Trump and for me it's Obama's failure.

[Winter]

It is a piece of art that is also the most iconic piece of graphic design of the 21st century and a piece of American history. Based on that I can see the high value.

You seem easily triggered.

Shepard Fairey HOPE

[bsharp]

Legit question — why do people keep calling it Sotherby’s? It’s very clearly Sotheby’s.
