Shepard Fairey x Neil Young 'Americana' Box Set

Released today is the Shepard Faire/Neil Young sumptuous "Americana" box set. An edition of 200, it includes 12 signed and numbered prints, song lyric sheet, and a CD of the new Neil Young and Crazy Horse album. (Seems like vinyl would have been an appropriate choice here, but alas.) The box is $850 from Obey and will be available at an unannounced time today. Juxtapoz has a lovely collection of images from the set. "Shepard Fairey x Neil Young 'Americana' Box Set"

  Well I hope the money from this will help him defend himself from going to jail.

  • [benher]

    He won’t go to jail – he’ll get probation.

  Has anyone found the original art/photo Fairey lifted these from yet?

  • [benher]

    Are you familiar with the concept of “reference”?

• [PaulLFormal]

  The collaboration between Neil Young and Shepard Fairey is absolutely fantastic.   I hope that teachers utilize the art, music and history in the classroom.  Absolutely Gorgeous and most important work that should be appreciated by all will go down as some of the greatest art produced in the early 21st century.  http://www.maxformal.com “Where America buys Dickie Work Clothing since 1953

  Neil Young = GREAT

  Neil Young + Shepard Fairey = not so great

• [Farrell McGovern]

  It looks very nice…but the only problem is, Neil Young is as American as William Shatner, or Jim Carey, or Leonard Cohen…that is, he’s Canadian. Putting his name on “Americana” is a great joke on our southern cousins!

    A lot of chinoiserie wasn’t made in China.

    • [Farrell McGovern]

       Chinoiserie…Fake Chinese art done by Europeans….Good example, as this is fake American art done by at least one Canadian! Thanx!

  • [superbusker]

     Canada is surely as much a part of America as are the United States, or has geography changed?

    • [Farrell McGovern]

       Canada is not part of America…Mexico, Canada and the United States of America occupy the continental landmass known as North America….North America is *not* America, nor is it a political entity. You *could* say that they are North Americans, but the are *not* Americans.

  • [B E Pratt]

     Meh, The Band wrote and performed the best Civil War song ever and they are considered Canadian. At least in Canada they are….

  If this is the stuff I heard a few weeks ago in an interview on Fresh Air then this is absolutely horrible.
