About the Item

Original Illustration based on photograph by Karen Bystedt. Signed by Shepard Fairey and Karen Bystedt. "I’ve been a fan of Andy Warhol’s art since high school. At first, his works’ iconic nature and sophisticated color theory attracted me. As I learned more about him, I developed an appreciation for Warhol’s philosophy to bring art to a broader audience by using imagery from pop culture and working with musicians like the Velvet Underground and founding Interview Magazine. Warhol additionally made himself part of the pop art conversation by socializing prolifically and making self-portraits. I have made several tributes to Warhol over the years, including playful remixes of some of his images. When Karen Bystedt showed me her photos of Warhol from 1982, I was captivated by his piercing gaze straight into the lens. I felt compelled to make art based on Karen’s photo, and I’m grateful she allowed me to work from her wonderful picture! Translating photos into captivating art that further amplifies the subject’s power is exactly what Warhol did, so I feel this art piece is fittingly “Warholesque” by aiming for the same. -Shepard Fairey “While at NYU film school in the ’80s, an ambitious young photographer/ artist Karen Bystedt enrolled Andy Warhol to do a sitting for her book on the era’s “sexiest male models,” NOT JUST ANOTHER PRETTY FACE (NAL) 1983 During her extraordinary photoshoot in the conference room at the “last factory” at Union Square, the artist, model, Warhol, who wasn’t typically known for his connection to the camera broke convention, connecting with Bystedt’s lens in a way that was iconic. For 25 years, a cardboard box lay forgotten in an old garage in Los Angeles, housing the hidden modeling negatives of the Andy Warhol. In 2011, the box was discovered by KB Bystedt, sparking a profound journey of self-discovery and artistic exploration.” Shepard and I are both deeply connected to Warhol, and share in his innovative portraiture. We partnered for this print, commemorating what would be his 96th birthday. Shepard’s artwork based on my photograph of Andy Warhol is brilliant and I hope it will inspire you as it has me. –Karen Bystedt Manufacturer: Obey Giant Edition Details: Run: 241/300 Technique: Screen Print Paper: Thick Cream Speckletone Size: 18 X 24 Markings: Signed & Numbered by both artist's in pencil.

Shepard Fairey Fractured Harmony Screen print on thick cream Speckletone paper Year: 2025 Size: 24 x 18 inches (60.96 x 45.72 cm) Edition: 550 Signed by Shepard Fairey, dated and numbered by hand; each COA provided *Edition number may vary from the image shown. The Fractured Harmony print by Shepard Fairey explores the tension between unity and division through the symbolic use of the mandala, a form traditionally associated with balance, wholeness, and spiritual harmony. In Fairey’s interpretation, the mandala appears torn or disrupted, transforming a symbol of collective interconnectedness into a reflection on social fragmentation and environmental neglect. At the center of the composition is a female figure partially obscured behind the fractured form. Her gaze toward the viewer introduces a psychological and emotional dimension, suggesting disappointment and concern over humanity’s continued inability to maintain mutual respect—for one another as well as for the planet that sustains life. The torn mandala functions both literally and metaphorically, representing the breakdown of collective responsibility and shared purpose. Consistent with Fairey’s broader body of socially engaged work, the print challenges ideological polarization and simplistic oppositions. The artist argues against the notion that personal freedom and collective well-being are inherently incompatible, instead proposing that self-determination and environmental or social responsibility can coexist in a balanced and mutually supportive relationship. Visually, the composition combines Fairey’s characteristic graphic clarity with more introspective symbolism, balancing activist messaging with emotional resonance. Fractured Harmony reflects recurring themes in his work: unity, environmental consciousness, social responsibility, and the search for constructive coexistence in an increasingly divided world.
