About the Item

A striking piece of illuminated Pop Art, this large wall‑mounted lightbox presents a silkscreen‑reversed portrait of Mao Zedong on acrylic, conceived as a bold reinterpretation of Andy Warhol's 1972 Mao. Crafted in the United States circa 1970, the work captures the era's fascination with political iconography transformed through vivid color and mass‑media aesthetics. The composition features a serigraphy‑printed acrylic panel fitted over a drum‑shaped metal lightbox finished in off‑white enamel. Recently updated with an LED lighting system, the piece radiates a powerful, even glow that amplifies the saturated Pop palette and graphic contours of the portrait. With no visible signature, the work stands as a rare and dramatic example of period Pop‑inspired illuminated art—ideal for collectors seeking statement‑scale pieces with strong visual impact, destined to serve as central focal points within a private interior. Please note: This is a large-format, wall‑mounted illuminated artwork; review dimensions carefully. Measurements: 38.50 in diameter (96.50 cm) by 6.50 in deep (15.25 cm).
