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.
On this collage, far left is a repeated pattern of "Obey Eye". The female figure is a cropped version of "Commanda", and the repeat pattern on the far right is "Peace Ornament". Interesting that the mural on the office of the Sprout Fund is not a Sprout Fund mural.
