Description from the seller

Shepard Fairey (OBEY) (1970) - Wide Awakes Poster Set (6 pieces)

Seks 18"x24" (61x46cm) usignerede offsetplakater i en åben udgave fra Amplifier's Wide Awakes-serie af Roger Peet, Tian Widjaya, Obey Giant, Osheen Siva, Giri Dwinanto, Galih Putra og Aaron Glasson. I 1860, da USA bevægede sig mod borgerkrigen, lancerede en gruppe unge patrioter en bevægelse for at vække landet. "The Wide Awakes" fra 1860 var mekanikere, arbejdere og kontorister, der åbnede deres øjne, rejste sig og marcherede og sang i gaderne med flag og kapper og bannere i titusindvis. I sidste ende agiterede hundredtusinder for en lidet kendt præsidentkandidat fra det nystiftede republikanske parti: Abraham Lincoln. De var kreative med deres brug af kunst, sang og offentlige stævner og pressede på for afskaffelsen af slaveriet på et kritisk tidspunkt i historien. 160 år senere står vi over for et valg som nation: kaos eller fællesskab? Endnu en gang er det tid til en opvågning, en nulstilling og en genforestilling om, hvad der er muligt. Sættet er sammensat af 6 offset litografier, der hver måler 24x16 tommer (61x46 cm). Sættet sendes omhyggeligt i et rør. Shepard Fairey betragtes som en af de mest indflydelsesrige gadekunstnere i øjeblikket. Fairey er politisk aktiv og mest berømt for de plakater, han har lavet til Barack Obamas kampagne.

Set of six 18x24” (61x46cm) unsigned offset posters in an open edition from Amplifiers Wide Awakes series by Roger Peet, Tian Widjaya, Obey Giant, Osheen Siva, Giri Dwinanto, Galih Putra and Aaron Glasson. In 1860, as the United States moved toward the Civil War, a group of young patriots launched a movement to awaken the country. The Wide Awakes of 1860 were mechanics, laborers, and clerks who opened their eyes, rose up, marched, and sang in the streets with flags and capes, and banners in the tens of thousands. In the end, hundreds of thousands campaigned for a little-known presidential candidate from the newly founded Republican Party: Abraham Lincoln. They were creative with their use of art, song, and public rallies, pushing for the abolition of slavery at a critical time in history. 160 years later, we face a choice as a nation: chaos or community? Once again, it’s time for an awakening, a reset, and a reimagining of what’s possible. The set includes 6 offset lithographs, each measuring 24x16 inches (61x46 cm). The set is carefully shipped in a tube. Shepard Fairey is considered one of the most influential street artists today. Fairey is politically active and best known for the posters he designed for Barack Obama’s campaign.
