Shepard Fairey arrested in Boston, by Guest on Feb 7, 2009 23:16:49 GMT 1, "We believe Shepard Fairey has made an important contribution in the history of art and to popular thinking about art and its role in society," the statement said. "We are enthusiastic to be working with him and are pleased to be showing the first museum retrospective of his work."
The museum said Fairey was released a few hours after his arrest, but that could not immediately be confirmed by authorities. A California lawyer who has represented Fairey in the copyright case didnโt immediately respond to an e-mail seeking comment on the arrest.
Ginny Delany, who was at the ICA Friday night, told The Boston Globe that Faireyโs arrest "makes him even more of a hero to me."
"The fact that he is arrested for his art shows that it is meaningful to him and he cares about what he is doing," said Delany, a graduate student from Cambridge.

Shepard Fairey arrested in Boston, by maadbeats on Feb 7, 2009 23:17:15 GMT 1, I mean he could be arrested in every city he touches down in. I dont understand how you can be a graffiti artist yet have so much exposure. Dont get me wrong its good for his career but if cities start realing cracking down he might have to move somewhere he hasnt tagged. Seems like he has been getting a pass for a while now except when caught in the act.

seems very strange timing that they have slapped this on him now? anyway its great publicity for his show, but its not the first time he's had runnings. he has recently moved up in the stature, and maybe they just want to make an example.
Hes still gonna be out there, so this will not stop him.

Shepard Fairey arrested in Boston, by Carnage NYC on Feb 9, 2009 2:55:33 GMT 1, He certainly did a bunch of illegal pasting and stickering while he was there. I had a chance to go up to Boston, check out the show and hunt for murals yesterday. I'm sure you've all seen your fair share of pics from Boston, but in case anyone can't get enough, here's my rundown of Obey pieces on the street.

thanks for the pics
sure i've seen that rat somewhere before??
interesting: what'll happen here:
"Faireyโs Obama image has been sold on hundreds of thousands of stickers and posters, and was unveiled at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington in the days before Obamaโs inauguration.
The image is the subject of a copyright dispute with The Associated Press. Fairey argues his use of the AP photo is protected by "fair use," which allows exceptions to copyright laws based on, among other factors, how much of the original is used, what the new work is used for and how the original is affected by the new work."

Shepard Fairey arrested in Boston, by jonvespa on Feb 10, 2009 3:30:30 GMT 1, i think the article is misleading in stating that it is his first "solo show". i understand they probably meant "museum show", but still....sounds like he just came up.
