In 2009 Shepard Fairey had an exhibit at the Andy Warhol Museum on the North Side. Known originally for being a street artist, he posted artwork all around the city prior to the opening of the show. This was one of them. These wheat-paste pieces were never meant to last forever and many of them are in very poor condition now.

Mary Thomas of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette writes about the art show and the artist here, explaining some of these images and influences.

We see 5 patterns in this collage. We identified four of them. Top left is "Peace Fingers Black". The central image is "Peace Goddess" and the upper right is "Lotus Ornament Black". The background pattern on the bottom is called "Peace Ornament".
