Artwork Introduction
Mao (F. & S. II.90), 1972 is a significant work from Andy Warhol’s Mao series, in which he reinterprets the iconic portrait of Chairman Mao Zedong through his signature Pop Art lens. Created at a time of political and cultural shifts between China and the United States, Warhol’s depiction of Mao transforms the political figure into a mass-produced icon, mirroring his approach to celebrity portraits. Using bold color variations, high-contrast layering, and expressive brushwork, Warhol blurs the lines between propaganda and commercialism, making a statement on power and influence in contemporary society.
As one of only 250 editions, Mao is a rare and highly collectible work that exemplifies Warhol’s mastery of screenprinting. Its historical relevance and striking visual impact make it an essential acquisition for collectors of modern and contemporary art.
