"I wanted strong. I wanted wise, but not intimidating” , Shepard Fairey said of his iconic poster design for Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign.
Set in Fairey's signature graphic style with a patriotic palette of red, white, and blue, the portrait portrays Obama looking into the distance with a sense of hopeful determination.
The street artist based this expression on a photograph of the candidate, taken by Mannie Garcia two years prior, that he discovered through a Google Image Search.
Fairey is said to have completed the print design in a single day, and he began selling the posters on the street himself before Super Tuesday..
The image quickly went viral and became inseparable from the campaign, featured on t-shirts, bumper stickers, buttons, and more.
A truly iconic piece of American History as well as an incredible investment piece.
