Obey
On the occasion of 35 years of artistic production and the first solo exhibition of Shepard Fairey (Obey) in Italy, this monograph presents a rich corpus of works by the famous American street artist, including his most significant works, alongside others created for the occasion. Known for the famous HOPE poster, emblem of Obama's 2008 presidential campaign, Obey's style is essential and bold, with a minimalist palette, guided by the hip hop and punk cultures that taught the artist to question social conventions. His works invite the public to question issues of great social relevance.
Skira is a world-leading art publisher. We embody the very highest visual and academic standards in our work. We cover the entire history of art and we push the boundaries of what art means. We are not just a publishing house – we are a world authority on the arts. But something else has made us the go-to space for lovers of culture and it has given us an innate ability to attract generations of artists and gallery owners to tell their stories and showcase their work. This something else is Albert Skira himself. He founded Skira in 1928. It was a time of great societal upheaval, the height of classical modernity, a period of political extremes and psychoanalysis. His inaugural publications were Picasso, Ovid and Surrealism. For Albert Skira, the ambition of art was to elucidate its own mystery. This is Skira. Skira is the excitement of a leap into the unknown. Skira creates space for the emergence of originality by questioning assumed truths. Skira embodies the perpetual change of art. Skira is the spirit of learning without limits. Skira is a world-leading publisher of the arts because, like an artist, it ventures to look where nobody has ever looked before.
