SHEPARD FAIREY (American, 1970) HENRY ROLLINS - 2014 Original silkscreen on aluminum Signed and dated in pencil lower right "Shepard Fairey 14" Numbered in pencil lower left "2/3" Signed, numbered, and dated in ink on verso "2/3 Shepard Fairey 14" 18 by 24 inches $3,000-5,000 In 2002, Shepard Fairey first used the image of Henry Rollins when, "Rollins did a benefit CD called Rise Above, with various artists performing Black Flag covers, in order to raise money for the West Memphis Three, a trio of young men from West Memphis, Arkansas, who were arrested and imprisoned as teenagers in 1993 for killing three eight-year-old boys in what is believed to be a vastly corrupted case. The proceeds from the CD went to the West Memphis Three’s legal defense fund, and I donated all the proceeds from the Rollins posters to the defense fund as well." In 2011, Fairey used Robbin's image again to commemorate the singer's 50th birthday. The 2014 screenprint on metal is a version of the 2011 screenprint on paper that was based on a 1951 Glen Friedman photograph. REQUEST A CONDITION REPORT Categories: Shepard Fairey
