Why It Matters
This print documents a moment of artistic solidarity following the 2010 Haiti earthquake, with all proceeds directed to relief. The three-way collaboration among Peterson, Ryder, and Fairey within Studio Number One makes it a rare example of Peterson's hand working in concert with his most influential collaborators for a charitable cause.
Collector Perspective
The 450-piece edition is scarcer than a typical benefit poster, and the documented Studio Number One collaboration adds provenance depth. Collectors should note this is a shared-authorship work rather than a solo Peterson, which shapes how it sits within a dedicated Peterson holding versus a Fairey or benefit-print collection.
Historical Context
Created for artistsforpeaceandjustice.com in the immediate aftermath of the January 2010 Haiti earthquake, the print reflects how the Obey and Studio Number One network mobilized editions for humanitarian fundraising. It captures Peterson at a moment when his practice intersected with broader activist print culture.
