Available in October 2009, Hope: A Collection of Obama Posters and Prints is the first-ever complete collection of campaign posters for the man whose groundbreaking campaign for the presidency sent political and cultural shockwaves around the world.
Included will be our own Obama Extended:
“Influenced by a punk rock aesthetic, which appealed to a generation of disaffected young people looking to shock the world out of its slumber, Matt Dye’s Obama prints can be outrageous and humorous in varying degrees, depending on the observer’s own perspective. One of the best and quintessential examples of this artistic shock value is Obama Extended, which confronts the fears of an assassination head-on, at least mythically. A 007 Bond-like or Clint Eastwood-like Obama, a Superfly Obama, clinched cigarette in teeth, stands behind the image of a “pimped out” 1963 Kennedy assassination limousine pointing a huge gun at anyone foolish enough to attempt the evil deed. This screen print is a signed, open edition”.
