Showcasing Fairey's entire body of work, from his early OBEY Giant campaign to his prodigious print output, increasingly ambitious large scale street work and beyond, this massive retrospective covers 20 colorful years. Fairey helped catalyze a movement from his unique vantage at the intersection of art, popular culture and Design and this tome documents it all. Through the lens of esteemed writers and critics such as Carlo McCormick, Steven Heller, Henry Rollins, Rob Walker, Roger Gastman and more, readers can learn about Shepard Fairey, the roots of the omnipresent OBEY street art campaign, his design practice and prolific gallery exhibitions. This massive book pulls no punches and all areas of the enigmatic artist's work, travels and travails are illuminated. From exhibitions, posters, flyers, silkscreens and stickers to high altitude pursuits, citations and police beatings, it's all documented in a museum quality layout and binding. The evidence is in, and it's clear that Shepard Fairey is not one to rest on his laurels, the work must go on.For both long time fans wanting the complete collection and those just curious to know what this OBEY business is all about, Supply and Demand is the answer.

Boyfriend loved all the info and stories!!! I love it also!!!

My boyfriend is a Shepard Fairey fan so this looked like a promising Christmas gift. I wasn't sure I was going to get this at first because I thought it might be cheesey but I read the reviews and they were all positive. I received it on time before Christmas, like promised and wrapped it in the Amazon box it came in so he wouldn't have a clue what it could be. Once he opened it, he was so excited becuase he had read about the book but had not been able to see it in person. He couldn't / can't put it down. He's a graphic designer and is always sketching and creating so this book is another source of inspiration for him and he loves that it's not just photos of Shepard Fairey's work but a lot of back stories behind each piece. The book's a great addition to our growing library of art books and even looks great on our coffee table, if he hasn't taken it with him to another room in our apt. Haha! Also, a great conversation starter! This turned out to be a better gift than expected!

My Son and 2 Grandsons are huge into skateboarding, and Obey is one of the hottest sources of skate graphics. We bought this as part of my younger -- 16-year-old -- Grandson's birthday present. I consider it the definitive Shepard Fairey book. Fairey recently came to our hood and painted some public murals. My younger Grandson recently got his driver's license and car and makes a point of driving by the closest mural and pointing it out to his passengers. My Grandson also bought me one of the limited-edition Obey Dirk posters, celebrating Dirk Nowitsky and the Dallas Mavericks' 2011 World Championship. We are all big Mavs fans and go to their games and other events as often as we are able.

The Giant Demands Obedience

Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2009

This is a tremendous overview of this current-day artitst, pre-Hope poster. It gives a very good outline of the span of his work. I always wondered how someone who is known for his "public space" art would present his work and now I have my answer.

His art, it's presentation and availability to the general public ushers in a new era and to own a book of his art is gratifying.

Perhaps now if the Boston Police Department would take some time to understand art everything would be alright. Though the irony of it all can not be missed.

This version (20th Anniversary Edition)of Supply and Demand is simply put...just amazing. One sees the growth of Shepard's work from the previous edition (2006) until now. There is plenty of the Obama stuff which made me first take notice of this "underground" street artist. And...in the same way that Picasso's work came to dominate the first half of the 20th century and Warhol's the second, Shepard's work will come to dominate the first half of the 21st century. It's that good. Simply amazing.

Thick table top book with lots of eye candy pictures

Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2011

Verified Purchase

I've been collecting Fairey's work for over a decade now and wanted to buy this book to see how he would put his collection together. This book is super fancy and heavy with hundreds of glossy pictures. The book layout is pretty cutting edge and gives you a youth fill not like some other art books where they have only one picture of someones artwork on a single page. If you like his artwork, you should buy this.

I love Shepard Fairey's work and being in India this book is not available here, so had to buy it on amazon.
Its a great book for those who love street art and its very comprehensive book with loads of high quality images and good amount of description.
a free poster is always good :)

Wonderful book overall as far as content and prompt shipping, but...

Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2010

I love the book. I'm a fan of Shepard Fairey and his book is wonderful, full of images on every page and a great look into his career and life as an artist, but a few days after I opened the book from its shrinkwrap, it started to curl or cup, making it a bit harder to flip through pages. This surprised me as it is a hardcovered book, and I don't keep it in a wet environment.

Aside from this frustrating phenomenon, the book is a great buy and a wonderful price on amazon compared to almost twice the price at retail stores.

Absolutely stunning.

Supply & Demand is to say the least stunning. High quality paper, a tight secure binding, and beautiful photos make this book one that you MUST own. Anything you ever wanted to know about Fairey, his OBEY campaign, and all of his other marvelous work is right here and presented masterfully. Get this as soon as you can.

A good alternative to that Banksy bloke

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 7, 2012

Verified Purchase

I wanted to write this without mentioning Banksy simply because Fairey's work can stand on its own without comparison to Banksy. However, having said that, many possibly wouldn't be aware of Fairey without you-know-who. Where Banksy adds humour, Fairey adds the feeling of a totalitarian state.

Anyway, the book is a generous size with all images printed to a high standard. The restricted palette of colours he uses works well to underline the feeling that the images are from a...uh, regime "that knows best" for the population. I bet Kim Jon Il was a fan.

If you like this work make sure you check out the documentary, "Exit through the gift shop" where Fairey speaks about some of his art.

Oh, and don't forget - Obey!

Très bel ouvrage. D'occasion, mentionné en bon état, c'était exact. Quelques traces sur la couverture, mais pages intactes.
Il vaut son prix, en contenu tant qu'en qualité d'impression, qui est bien là. Bien évidemment, vu le titre, il est en anglais, mais abordable sans problème

Really great book for any street art or street wear fan. There a lot of quality and attention that went in the making of this book. Makes for a cool coffee table piece — certainly a must read for whoever sits in front of it.

Shepard Fairey ist ein zeitgenössischer Street-Art Künstler, Grafiker und Illustrator aus der Skateboard-Szene und wurde zunächst mit seiner André the Giant Has a Posse-Aufkleber-Kampagne bekannt. In Supply and Demand zeigt auf auf 100 Seiten - 20 Jahre seiner Kunst. Jeden Cent wert. Ich schlage das Buch regelmäßig auf um mich inspirieren zu lassen.
