About This Item
New York: Rizzoli, 2015. Hardcover. Fine. Third printing. Inscribed by Shepard Fairey to Eric Idle on the front flyleaf. The seminal artist's recent art and poster works, and his triumphant return to his street-art roots with murals, all in work never before published. His signature blend of politics, street culture, and art makes Fairey unlike any other street artist working today. Quarto. Original pictorial boards over a red cloth spine with black titles. Issued without a dust jacket. A fine copy.
From the library of revered English actor, comedian, musician, and writer Eric Idle, accompanied by a letter of provenance. Idle (b.1943) is a founding member of the British comedy troupe Monty Python, as well as the parody rock group The Rutles, and is the writer of the music and lyrics for the hit Broadway musical Spamalot.
