About the Item
Shepard Fairey's "Mayday" - A Narrative of Distress and Hope
Edition 439/1000
Signed and dated to lower right
Step into the vibrant world of contemporary art with Shepard Fairey's evocative masterpiece, "Mayday." Created in 2010, this exceptional art print transcends time, resonating with an energy that ignites both the visual senses and the depths of thought.
Measuring at 7.5 x 10 inches, "Mayday" is a testament to Fairey's ability to pack a profound narrative within a compact canvas. As you gaze upon the artwork, you're immediately drawn into a dialogue that encompasses social commentary, aesthetic brilliance, and artistic depth.
This limited edition print holds the distinction of being one of only 1000 ever produced, each one a unique revelation of Fairey's creative prowess. With the artist's signature gracing each piece, "Mayday" becomes a personal connection to Fairey's vision, his dedication to authenticity, and his commitment to the craft.
In Fairey’s mind, the persistence of difficulties in the political, environmental, economic, and cultural arenas points to the definition of Mayday as a distress signal: “By now we thought we would be in a post-Bush utopia, but we’re still having to call attention to these problems.” Like any mayday call, however, the sounding of the alarm also brings hope for help on the way. “If we stay silent, there’s no hope,” Fairey muses. “But if we make noise, if we put our ideas out there, then maybe we can make a change like the people in the portraits have done.”
What sets "Mayday" apart is not just the visual spectacle it offers, but the emotions it stirs within. The imagery unfolds like a visual poem, inviting viewers to interpret the layers of meaning embedded within its design. Fairey's deft manipulation of color, texture, and symbolism creates an artwork that not only captivates the eye but also sparks contemplation.
Preserved in mint condition, this print has been carefully stored flat, untouched by the passage of time. Its pristine state is a testament to the reverence it has received, awaiting the perfect owner who will continue its artistic journey. You may notice specks within the paper that is a characteristic of the speckletone paper it is printed on.
As you welcome "Mayday" into your collection, you embrace a piece of art that embodies the essence of Shepard Fairey's vision. It's not merely an acquisition; it's a gateway to contemplation, a source of inspiration, and a testament to the power of creativity to transcend boundaries.
Experience the resonance of Shepard Fairey's "Mayday" — a fusion of artistic brilliance, social commentary, and aesthetic allure that will forever grace your space with its magnetic presence.

Shepard Fairey
Expanding on the legacies of artists such as Keith Haring and Andy Warhol, Shepard Fairey’s practice disrupts the distinction between fine and commercial art.
A major artist of the street art movement, Fairey rose to prominence in the early 1990s through the dispersion of prints, posters, stickers and murals, related to his Obey Giant campaign, which yielded an international cultural phenomenon. Fairey’s iconic poster of President Barack Obama was adopted as the official emblem associated with the presidential campaign and encapsulates a number of recurring concerns in the artist’s work, including propaganda, portraiture and political power.

The High Cost Of Free Speech Shepard Fairey Print Signed & Numbered Politics
By Shepard Fairey
Located in Draper, UT
Punk rock ignited a lot of creative and philosophical things for me, and punk principles continuously remind me that speaking truth to power and questioning authority is paramount in life. The Dead Kennedys, The Clash, Black Flag, and the Circle Jerks are just a few of the groups that referenced injustices such as police brutality and abuse of power in their songs, inspiring me to speak out about the same subjects through my art. I have made a lot of lasting friendships through punk rock and its cultural offshoots. One of those friends is Sean Bonner, who began ordering my prints in the '90s while he was art director for punk label Victory Records. Sean designed the package for the Bad Brains...

"Expectation"
Edition of only 100 prints.
Signed and Numbered by the artist in pencil 13/100.
Born in 1982, Jing Zhiyong's creative work was predominantly inspired by the 1990s. A collective of artists working in the United Kingdom, who came to be known as the YBAs, or Young British Artists, defined the artistic culture of the 1990s. Affiliated loosely by their age and nationality, they were a varied collective of practitioners. A number of the YBAs attended the Royal College of Art and Goldsmiths in London, and were favoured by the ‘super collector’ of the time, Charles Saatchi. The most renowned member of the group is Damien Hirst, and other members included Chris Ofili, Tracey Emin, Marc Quinn, Gavin Turk, Sarah Lucas...

Skulls, 1976 (FS.II.159)
By Andy Warhol
Located in Greenwich, CT
Skulls (FS.II.159) is a screenprint on paper with an image size of 30 x 40 inches, signed 'Andy Warhol' and annotated lower left. From the edition of 60, numbered 50/50 (there were also 10 APs), and framed in a custom, closed-corner, gold-leaf frame.
Catalogue - Feldman Schellmann, #159 (II.159 Skulls 1976)
Andy Warhol’s Skulls from 1976 are part of the transition he began initially in 1972 with the Mao series – incorporating hand-drawn lines into the image – and with Ladies and Gentlemen and Mick Jagger in 1975 where he began the print process with his own photographs rather than appropriated ones. Additionally, in the 1975 prints, he began using collaged elements – torn paper, photographic elements, etc.
Donna de Salvo writes about the Skulls series, “Skulls (II.157 – 160) lies somewhere between the genres of still life and portraiture and is based on a photograph of a skull taken by Warhol’s studio assistant, Ronnie Cutrone. The theme of skulls became a major preoccupation for Warhol, and he produced numerous versions of it in paintings. In this image, Warhol combined all three pictorial forms...
