[Signed] [First Edition] MAYDAY: The Art of Shepard Fairey Fairey

Inscribed by Shepard Fairey to Eric Idle on the title page, with an Obey Giant sticker laid in. Drawing on work from the final exhibition before the closing of New York's seminal Deitch Projects, MAYDAY is simultaneously a call for heightened awareness and a celebration of the rebirth embodied in revolutionary movements. Portraits of advocates of the working class and oppressed define the collection, with acclaimed street artist Shepard Fairey staking the claim that artists, musicians, and writers such as Joe Strummer, Jean Michel Basquiat, Woody Guthrie, and Cornel West all have parts to play in stimulating response to injustice. Quarto. Original pictorial boards over a black cloth spine with gilt 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.
