So what does the data actually say?
Shepard Fairey
+10.4%CAGR
A signed Fairey numbered print bought in 2019 for $200 has doubled to $400 — median doubled over 7 years.

Banksy
−8.5%CAGR
Retail-tier Banksy is down 46% from 2019 medians. The auction-trophy market is fine — the $100–$3K floor got arbitraged away.

Market Volume — Sales Per Year
Number of documented sales per year (respects the price-floor chip above), stacked across the roster.
Fairey price-tier composition
Sales split by price bucket each year. Watch the premium stack grow — upper tiers are compounding while entry-level stays flat. Pick another artist to see their composition.
Price composition is shifting upmarket. Entry-level ($100–300) is flat while premium tiers compound.
2025 volume reflects back-catalog import from WorthPoint; share % is the cleaner growth signal.

Fairey's premium-edition market (signed & numbered) has compounded at roughly 13% per year since 2019 — outpacing the S&P 500. Signed-and-numbered scarcity continues to drive the floor up while open-edition prints stay flat. That matters: every Fairey piece on this site is signed, numbered, and authenticated.

Methodology
Dataset: 40,636 documented art sales from WorthPoint and public aggregators, 2019–2026 YTD.
- $100 minimum floor. Every row under $100 is excluded from every chart and stat — stickers, ephemera, and open-edition clearance are stripped so they don’t drag the medians down.
- Shepard Fairey: numbered prints only. Rows must match an edition pattern (e.g. 150/500, LE, AP 5/40, PP, HC), carry a numbered flag, or expose an edition number/size. Open editions, posters without edition numbers, and stickers are excluded.
- Warhol is excluded from the roster (insufficient comp data at the retail tier). Death NYC included with 190 documented sales.
- Medians, not means. Medians are reported throughout so a single $3k outlier doesn’t skew the year.
- Source cap. WorthPoint feeds cap at $3,000, so auction trophies aren’t in the set — this is retail-market floor pricing, the level Gauntlet Gallery actually transacts at.
Methodology & Sources
Our market intelligence is aggregated from public auction archives and authenticated sales databases. Every chart is built on medians, not averages, to neutralize outliers. Premium-tier signal (Sotheby's, Phillips, Christie's) is segmented separately to avoid skewing retail-tier comps.
