The Institute of Contemporary Art is spotlighting the influential street artist Shepard Fairey (perhaps now best know for his Obama "Hope" poster) with the first solo show of his work, "Shepard Fairey: Supply and Demand," which runs through August 16. Included in the survey are examples of the artist's bold, graphic style, like his stenciled stickers from early guerrilla art campaigns—pieces that became ubiquitous urban images—screen prints, and wood and metal works, as well as newer collages and canvases.
