DETROIT — Street artist Shepard Fairey has finished work on a large mural in downtown Detroit.
The roughly 185-foot-tall by 60-foot-wide mural was painted on One Campus Martius. It’s financed by businessman Dan Gilbert’s Bedrock Real Estate Services, which owns the building. Work took place this week.

The Detroit News reports Fairey visited with students from the Detroit Academy of Arts & Sciences and showed them examples of his work. MLive.com reports he said he wanted a prominent location for the mural for it “to be in front of people.”
Fairey also painted a smaller mural while in Detroit. The Library Street Collective gallery plans a show of his work starting Friday.
