This week in the magazine, Peter Schjeldahl writes about the street artist, graphic designer, and entrepreneur Shepard Fairey.This month, the first retrospective of his work opens at the Institute of Contemporary Art, in Boston. Schjeldahl writes that “Fairey reverses a revolution achieved by Warhol, along with Roy Lichtenstein. He embraces a trend in what the critic Dave Hickey has called ‘pop masquerading as art, as opposed to art masquerading as pop.’” Here is a selection of Fairey’s work, both on and off the street.
“America’s Finest Cop” (2000).
A wall of Fairey’s street posters.
“Obama Hope” (2008).
“War by Numbers” (2007).
Shepard Fairey installs work in Harvard Square, Cambridge, Mass.
“Giant Hammer” (1999).
