Andy Warhol - Mao Zedong Screen Prints

Andy WARHOL Mao Zedong Silkscreens on heavy paper, 91 x 91 cm. Stamped "Published by Sunday B. Morning" and "Fill in your own signature" on the back. The Sunday B. Morning editions were intended as a joke, with a stamp on the back that said "fill in your own signature". Warhol began collaborating with two Belgian friends in 1970 on a second series of some of his prints. Among them were the "Marilyn" series, the "Campbell Soup Can" series... with the stamp on the back "fill in your own signature". The original idea for this partnership for Warhol was to play on the concept of mass production. Andy liked to comment on this phenomenon through his art and explore its impact on modern culture. The idea was: "Here we just mass-produced these prints; sign your name here. Any name will do. Because yours is as important as mine."
