I'm biased as an owner, but doesn't $5k pretty reasonable for PROGRESS given its place in history? ...the most famous political poster since Uncle Sam ...the defining face of the Obama campaign ...SF was well known, but this changed the trajectory even higher. Everyone knows Hope and Change...but it started with Progress. I'm never going to be a seller, but I might buy an extra one for my retirement plan! :rock:

Hope>Progress.
Sure the Hope is a larger edition and an offset litho, but it’s the image that’s in the National Gallery.

Curious to what others think. My vote is Progress > Hope. Progress is where it all started...and same image. Hope is a much larger edition.

I dug deep and bought Hope rather than Progess so you know where I come down. Hope is the caption that people remember, not Progress. I put the market values around the same.

Same. I went with Progress because it’s a one of a kind, limited screenprint, and an original Fairey. The colors are gorgeous. I have various Hope editions, but Progress as an art piece stands above Hope for me.
