Andy Warhol

Mao (Feldman & Schellmann II.90 - 99)

Estimation : 1 000 000 – 1 500 000 USD

Mao (Feldman & Schellmann II.90 - 99)

The Mao portfolio was a significant project artistically, published in an era remembered for its political and cultural upheaval. Andy Warhol had already become known for his inimitable ability to reduce an icon to a two-dimensional picture or elevate the magnitude of a banal product. The Mao portrait was simultaneously innovative and commonplace as it was Warhol's intention that even the most famous were ripe for mass consumption and that everything was worthy of fame.
