APC ART is pleased to offer our global collector base this extremely rare Artist Proof screen print by Shepard Fairey, titled “Protect the Sacred.”

Released in 2014, this scarce Artist Proof is set apart from the regular edition of 450 by its unique borderless format, which gives the work an even more powerful presence. The composition—based on a photograph by Aaron Huey—depicts a Native figure gazing across a barren red landscape, horses roaming in the distance, and a radiant sun rising above the horizon. The imagery reflects themes of sovereignty, protection, and respect for Indigenous lands, a subject matter central to Huey’s activism and Fairey’s long tradition of politically charged art.

Hand signed and dated by Shepard Fairey in graphite pencil in the lower margin and notated “A/P” for Artist Proof, this work represents one of the most elusive and desirable versions of the edition. Unlike the standard release, this borderless proof eliminates the cream border, immersing the viewer directly into the commanding visual field of red, gold, and black.

The print has been carefully preserved, always stored flat with archival materials, and has never been framed. Its condition is pristine—making it an excellent opportunity for collectors to acquire a rarely seen Artist Proof from this iconic release. “Protect the Sacred” is not only visually striking, but also a good investment-grade work from one of the most recognizable and influential artists of our time.

The work is in hand and will ship immediately from the United States. APC ART is also pleased to offer archival framing options, and we are happy to work with any budget to find the perfect frame to complement and protect this remarkable edition.
