ANDY WARHOL SELF
PORTRAIT |

1973's Mao presents the iconic
image of the CHinese revolutionary leader that Warhol himself
lent such strength and recognition in the United States.
Warhol's images of Mao date from the time of President Nixon's
historic visit to Beijing. They act as a foil to the glamour
portraits that dominated Warhol's output during this period. In
this drawing Warhol showcases both his draughtsmanship and his
sense of Pop irony, converting a mass-produced image into a
unique hand-drawn work of art.
Andy Warhol
(1928-1928) Mao XI drawn in 1973, pencil on paper, 92x91 cm.
Estimate :£70,000-100,000 | |
