APC ART is pleased to offer our global collector base one of Shepard Fairey’s most iconic and important works, “The Duality of Humanity #1.”
This hand-pulled silkscreen print in colors on cream speckle-tone paper is a landmark example from Fairey’s celebrated “Duality of Humanity” series, widely regarded as the pinnacle of his artistic output. The work is hand-signed, dated, and numbered by Fairey in graphite pencil along the bottom margin, reading “Shepard Fairey ’08” at lower right, and hand-numbered from the edition of 450 at lower left.
Shepard Fairey has established himself as one of the most influential and recognizable artists of the 21st century. From his “Obey Giant” street campaign to his era-defining “Hope” poster for Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign, Fairey’s imagery has become ingrained in the cultural and political fabric of our time. “The Duality of Humanity” series epitomizes his ability to blend political commentary, bold design, and socially conscious messaging into works that are simultaneously visually striking and intellectually provocative.
“The Duality of Humanity #1” captures Fairey’s trademark aesthetic of bold lines, rich colors, and layered symbolism, juxtaposing peace and war, fragility and aggression. The central figure, adorned with bullet belts yet wearing a peace medallion, encapsulates the paradoxes that define modern society and Fairey’s most enduring themes. This is not just a print—it is a true cultural artifact.
The present example is framed to full museum standards in a hand-cut black wood frame with archival and anti-UV glass, arriving ready to immediately display. The work is in excellent condition, an absolutely stunning and iconic example from Fairey’s oeuvre.
This is an excellent investment opportunity. Fairey’s most sought-after works from this era continue to grow in demand and value, particularly within the blue-chip sector of contemporary and street art.
The work is in hand and will ship immediately from the United States to our global collector base.
