APC ART is pleased to offer our global collector base this extremely rare and iconic work by Shepard Fairey, titled “War by Numbers.”

Executed in 2008 as a large-scale lithograph measuring 36 x 24 inches, this piece is from the limited edition of only 750 works, each hand-signed, dated, and numbered by the artist. Now nearly two decades since its release, “War by Numbers” has become one of Fairey’s most sought-after and historically significant works, representing both the cultural impact and political resonance of his practice.

Shepard Fairey, the creator of the OBEY GIANT campaign and the historic “HOPE” poster for Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign, has long been recognized as one of the most important voices in contemporary and street art. His works, often imbued with social and political commentary, are held in major institutions worldwide and continue to shape conversations about propaganda, design, and power.

“War by Numbers” depicts a young girl holding a rose, which reveals itself to be a grenade—juxtaposing innocence with destruction, beauty with violence. The striking imagery and bold palette of red, black, and gold make this an unmistakable example of Fairey’s mastery of graphic storytelling. The work is both visually arresting and thematically profound, making it a centerpiece for any serious collection of contemporary art.

Works from this edition are extremely hard to find, particularly in excellent condition. As Fairey’s global recognition continues to rise, early works such as “War by Numbers” represent not only a cultural landmark but also a blue-chip investment opportunity.

This work is in excellent condition, hand-signed, numbered, and dated by Shepard Fairey. It is in hand and will ship immediately from the United States.

A truly iconic Shepard Fairey work, representing the height of his critical voice and artistic vision.
