"Mao" (1975) by Andy Warhol is a silkscreen print that portrays the iconic image of Chairman Mao Zedong. Signed in ballpoint pen and numbered with a rubber stamp on the verso, this piece exemplifies Warhol's fascination with political figures and mass media. The vibrant, contrasting colours and bold outlines are characteristic of Warhol's style.

Condition note:
This Mao is age-appropriate. You will find that it is common for the paper to have yellowing of the sheet as they were framed previously in the 60/70's in pressure frames with non-acid-free backing. The back has only the yellowing and no foxing. You will find that there is an outline of this pressure frame around the edges. The top left-hand corner has a very minor paper loss. There is a minor handle crease on the right side of the neck approximately 1.5 inches. Overall, excellent condition.
Framed with Darbyshire handmade frame to museum standards and in London
