Executed in 1972, the series was prompted in large part by President Nixon's highly publicized visit to China that February — a moment of genuine diplomatic rupture that suddenly placed the image of Chinese Communist leader Mao Zedong at the center of Western media attention. During the Cultural Revolution, Mao's portrait had become one of the most reproduced and visually saturated images in the world, omnipresent across Chinese propaganda on a scale with few historical precedents. Warhol's appropriation of this image — applying his signature silkscreen process and characteristic chromatic interventions to a portrait already defined by mass reproduction — produced one of the most conceptually precise meditations on celebrity, power, and image saturation in his entire career, drawing a direct and pointed line between the cult of personality surrounding a twentieth-century political leader and the mechanisms of fame that Warhol had spent his career dissecting in the context of Hollywood stars and consumer products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eAt 914 × 914 mm, the square format gives the composition a monumental and confrontational physical presence entirely appropriate to its subject. Printed by Styria Studio — a printer of exceptional technical accomplishment — and co-published by Castelli Graphics and Multiples, Inc., two of the most significant print publishers in 1970s New York, this impression carries a production and publication history of the highest distinction. The provenance from Tolarno Galleries in Melbourne — one of Australia's most historically significant contemporary art galleries — adds a further dimension of documented and traceable ownership history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe work is in very good condition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1288\" data-start=\"1136\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1160\" data-start=\"1136\"\u003eShipping \u0026amp; Delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1163\" data-start=\"1160\"\u003e✔ Worldwide shipping from France\u003cbr data-end=\"1198\" data-start=\"1195\"\u003e✔ Professional packaging with insurance\u003cbr data-end=\"1240\" data-start=\"1237\"\u003e✔ Tracking number included for secure delivery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex-shrink-0 flex flex-col relative items-end\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pt-0.5\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gizmo-shadow-stroke flex h-6 w-6 items-center justify-center overflow-hidden rounded-full\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"relative p-1 rounded-sm h-9 w-9 text-white flex items-center justify-center\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"S1PPyQ\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"Collection Andy Warhol\" href=\"https:\/\/lynartstore.com\/collections\/andy-warhol?_pos=1\u0026amp;_psq=andy\u0026amp;_ss=e\u0026amp;_v=1.0\"\u003e➡️ See all available works by Andy Warhol\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1013\" data-end=\"1016\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/lynartstore.com\/pages\/contact-us\" title=\"Contact\"\u003e➡️ Contact us for any question\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"132\" data-start=\"122\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"132\" data-start=\"125\"\u003eFAQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this an original work by Andy Warhol?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — an authentic screenprint in colours on Beckett High White wove paper, signed in ball-point pen and stamp-numbered verso from the edition of 250, printed by Styria Studio and co-published by Castelli Graphics and Multiples, Inc., catalogued as Feldman \u0026amp; Schellmann II.95.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy did Warhol create the Mao series?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe series was prompted in large part by President Nixon's highly publicized 1972 visit to China — a major diplomatic turning point.
