It is hand signed and numbered from the limited edition of 300 - with each one, including the present work, completely unique. What makes this piece one of the most coveted of the entire edition is that it features one of the most identifiable and representative images of Mao - as each time the work was printed, the image of Mao became more distorted and abstracted. With the progression of each successive work, it becomes more abstracted; this is one of the lowest available in the edition of 300 on the market today; it is extremely rare and desirable. Other editions of this work were featured in the most recent Andy Warhol retrospective at the Whitney Museum. (see photographs). The information plaque on the wall at the Whitney Museum describes the edition as follows: "Warhol produced these works at the invitation of Billy Kluver and Julie Martin of Experiments of Art & Technology (E.A.T.), a group that promoted collaborations between artists and engineers. Using only a photocopier, Warhol instructed Martin to make three hundred sequential copies of an original drawing of Mao using each successive copy as the course for the next...Because of a device built into the machine to prevent the counterfeiting of money, Martin found that the image of Mao was enlarged by a small percentage each time and thus distorted with every consecutive copy. Warhol embraced this element of chance, and by the final, three hundredth print, the image of Mao had become completely abstract.." (see photograph of the Wall plaque)
