Map of Pittsburgh Public Art
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. There were three of them placed in one alley in downtown. The wheat-paste pieces were never meant to last forever and many of them are in very poor condition now. These three used to be along Tito Way, but they’re all gone now.
There were 9 designs in this first collage. We identified 8 of them. Left to right, and top to bottom:
- "Stay Up Girl"
- "Yen Pattern Black"
- "Commanda"
- "Ankara Red"
- "Obey Eye"
- "Mujer Fatal"
- "Peace Fingers Black"
- "Zapatista Woman"
This one consisted of the "Peace Bomber" with "Obey Offset" in the background on the left.
The third mural that was on this alleyway is titled: "Israel/Palestine Print" .
Mary Thomas of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette writes about the art show and the artist here, explaining some of these images and influences.
