Limited Edition Shepard Fairey Commemorative Inaugural Print Released

Artist Behind the “Hope” Poster Creates New Image Marking the Inauguration of Barack Obama

WASHINGTON, D.C. – A limited edition print designed by Los Angeles artist Shepard Fairey in honor of President-elect Obama’s Inauguration is now available for purchase on the Presidential Inaugural Committee’s website. A run of only 10,000 numbered prints have been made of this special illustration commemorating the Inaugural occasion.

“Shepard Fairey has captured the hope and excitement that is building across the country for President-elect Obama’s Inauguration,” said PIC Spokesperson Brent Colburn. “We are honored that he has offered his unique talent and vision to help mark this historic event.”

Shepard Fairey’s red, white, and blue “Hope” illustration, replicated on thousands of t-shirts, signs and buttons during the 2008 campaign, was one of the most identifiable symbols of Barack Obama’s historic run for the White House. Just yesterday, the Smithsonian announced that Fairey’s original work will become a permanent part of the Smithsonian’s collection and be displayed in the National Portrait Gallery by Inauguration Day. Fairey also designed the portrait of President-Elect Obama featured on the cover of Time Magazine’s “Person of the Year” issue last month.
