MANCHESTER, NH--If you have watched the Olympic coverage you cannot escape the ever-present image of Mao Zedong. Andy Warhol was fascinated by the media coverage of Mao three decades ago after President Nixon's visit to China. He used the images of Mao he found in the media to develop drawings, a collection of screen prints, Mao wallpaper, and a Xerox series of images. All of these will be on view during the Currier Museum of Art's new exhibition Andy Warhol: Pop Politics from September 27, 2008 through January 4, 2009.
