Supply and Demand is the book that finally does justice to Shepard Fairey / Obey / Andre the Gaint entire body of work, a massive retrospective covering 17 Years of this groundbreaking artist’s prodigious output. Through the lens of esteemed writers and critics such as Carlo McCormick, Steven Heller and Roger Gastman, Fairey’s work is seen for all its depth and placed in context as art, design, social experiment and “getting over”.
