Barack Obama Art Poster Print – 16″ X 20″
This poster is of the Barack Obama “HOPE” image created by Shepard Fairey. It shows Obama in red, white and blue, and says “Hope” at the bottom. This poster measures approx. 16″ x 20″ Barack Hussein Obama II (born August 4, 1961) is the President-elect of the United States and a United States Senator from Illinois.

Just to share my own experience here, the poster that I received was of a high quality art paper, from MovieGoods, so perhaps they’ve improved since the previous review below. However, the other review is correct in that the poster is not 16×20″, and will not fit properly in a standard frame. The other review names a size like 11×17″, but the poster I received was closer to the original measurements, just 2 inches longer. Exactly 16×22″, as opposed to the standard 16×20″.
Now, I know that it was artwork before it was a poster, and 16×22 is as close as they could get, but be warned you will either have to cut/fold the top and bottom edges to fit it, and then you’ll have white bordering the sides but not the top and bottom; or you could shell out extra cash for a custom frame, but I wouldn’t personally. A better idea might be to buy a matte at a framing/crafts store and use a larger frame. Awesome artwork, great quality paper stock, glad I purchased it, but be aware of the dimensions of the piece.
Oh, and one more thing: the comments to the 2 star reviews below are from the seller, and both are refuting the complaints in the review. In the case of the item’s size, the seller is just plain wrong, and my poster has the folds in it to prove it. I add this just in case the seller’s (mistake? lack of honesty? unwillingness to disclose info that will hurt sales?) actions will affect your decision to shop with them. Good luck!
I bought two of these prints in november. The supplier at that time was ZenGeek and I was very satisfied. Unfortunately, one got damaged in transit to my parents (it was a gift for my father). I used the link in my order history to get to the product page, only this time the supplier was listed as Movie Goods. The print from Movie Goods was definitely of inferior quality. It’s not on Art Stock and the image quality is not as good (grainy). If you’re going to buy this print I’d recommend searching out ZenGeek. I can’t speak to the quality of the other suppliers prints, but I’d avoid Movie Goods.

Bootleg
Completely unauthorized reproduction. If you want the “real deal” look for one of Shepard Fairey’s signed and numbered silk screened (serigraph) prints, not one of these…
I love the poster and think it is of high quality. It is larger than 16X20 and does not fit in a standard frame.

Disappointed that size was wrong
Indeed, it does not fit into the standard frame that it states in the product description. Other shoppers might want to check out the other Fairey posters offered for sale…

Not 16×20″
Poster is more like 17×11″ and does not fit into a standard size 16×20″ frame as advertised. Otherwise, very nice.

Great poster
I gave this poster as a Christmas gift. It looks great — could use a frame though.
