This spectacular lightbox with Mao Tse Tung's (Mao Zedong) silkscreen-reversed painting on acrylic is a reinterpretation of Andy Warhol's iconic design. The rare piece was crafted in the United States circa 1970. It features a drum-shaped lightbox with metal framing and off-white enamel. The stunning oversized illuminated Pop-Art portrait of Mao Tse-Tung is a tribute to Andy Warhol's Mao portrait silkscreen created in 1972. Two pieces with serigraphy printed acrylic front fitting over a rear metal drum box with an updated LED light fixture. There is no visible designer's mark.
Please pay attention to the dimensions. This is a large-scale wall-mounted decorative artwork.
 
Note: Mao 1973. Andy Warhol, American. In 1972, U.S. President Richard Nixon traveled to China to meet Chairman Mao Zedong, ending years of diplomatic isolation between the two nations. This historic event captured Warhol's imagination, who, between 1972 and 1973, created 199 silkscreen paintings of Mao in five sizes.
