Private sellerProduct description
Signed art multiple: triptych of offset lithographs on high-quality archival cream paper (Cream Speckle Tone Paper), each measuring approximately 61 x 46 cm (24 x 18 inches). This triptych is an "Open Edition," signed and dated in pencil on each print.
The three panels feature three different graphic versions of André the Giant's iconic face, enhanced by collaged backgrounds that include references to icons such as Andy Warhol, David Bowie, and Martin Luther King.
André the Giant (born André René Roussimoff, 1946–1993) was a famous French wrestler and actor, who became the defining symbol of Shepard Fairey's (OBEY) art:
1. The face behind the logo. The stylized face repeated in the three prints is that of André. Fairey created the first sticker in 1989 while still an art student, cutting out a newspaper photo of the wrestler. The sticker initially read "André the Giant Has a Posse."
2. From News to "Propaganda." Over time, Fairey increasingly stylized the face (making it the geometric icon seen here) and replaced the original phrase with the word OBEY. The artist's intent was to prompt people to ask: "Why is this face everywhere? What does it mean?", prompting a critical reflection on advertising and social control.
In these works, André's face is no longer just a portrait, but a graphic matrix that overlays collages of historical and pop symbols. It represents "Big Brother" watching us, but with the aesthetics of Street Art.
- Signature and date on each sheet
