Description
'Post No Bills Set: Ming' by Shepard Fairey, 2005
Based on the character from the campy sci-fi classic "Flash Gordon". 8.5 x 11 Inches
Rare early screen print on cream, Speckletone fine art paper.
Limited Edition of 200 (#135/200)
Signed, numbered and dated by the artist.
ABOUT THE ART
From a set of four mini-prints originally available exclusively with the Wooster Collective special edition Post No Bills book.
"The subject of this image was often mistaken as Anton LaVey, the founder of the Church of Satan, perhaps just because it seems so sinister. Ming the Merciless was a character from the Flash Gordon comics during the ‘30s, a period when there was a lot of paranoia about communism in China. It seems like world politics often dictate what the villains look like in the entertainment media. It’s another example of the use of symbols to manipulate people, in this instance to generate fear."
