Shepherd Fairey is steady commemorating the biggest events in sports, pop culture, and politics using his now iconic blend of color, composition, and line. In honor of 23's AKA Michael Jordan's induction into the NBA Hall of Fame, Fairey created limited edition silk-screened prints featuring some of 'His Airness'' greatest moments.
Via C'est La Vie:
Everything about Michael Jordan is iconic, from his slam dunks to his signature shoes to his tongue wagging to his number, so he makes a great subject for portraiture because everything about him is laced with cultural significance. You can tell from the look in his eyes, even back when he was at the University of North Carolina, that he was obsessed with greatness, but he also managed to do everything with a sense of flair. I think it’s that combination of intensity and style, and of course his singular talent, that make him the embodiment of a legend.
The initial set of master prints are autographed by both Fairey and Jordan and go on sale today via Obeygiant.com for a cool $4499.99 ea.
