MAO TSE-TUNG (ANNOUNCEMENT)
Estimate:
€4,000 - €6,000
Andy Warhol, American 1928-1987
MAO TSE-TUNG (ANNOUNCEMENT)
Coloured lithograph, 7" x 14" (17.5 x 35cm), signed with felt tip by the artist.

They included Elvis, car crashes and most wanted criminal mugshots. Mao Tse-Tung, he realized at some point, was an iconic figure who warranted celebrity treatment. And there was the mixed message chemistry of combining revolutionary politics with Pop Art.
