Real client case
Real client case reviewed by ConfirmArt for Mao invitation card, attributed or related to Andy Warhol. The public page presents selected visual evidence and a rendered report viewer without exposing the private commissioned PDF.
Selected evidence
Report structure
Warhol's Mao imagery belongs to one of the most important bodies of work from the early 1970s. Warhol began the subject after President Richard Nixon's 1972 visit to China, transforming Mao's official image into a repeated Pop icon through painting and screenprinting. Museum and market references identify Mao as a major Warhol subject from 1972, with the formal screenprint portfolio published by Castelli Graphics and Multiples, Inc.
The signature is the most important authentication question in this report. Because the printed card itself was a distributed offset-lithograph invitation, the signature is what gives the object most of its Warhol-specific market value. In our opinion, and subject to the limits of photograph-based review, the submitted signature is likely authentic.
The 1972 Mao invitation card occupies a hybrid category. It is not a unique painting, and it is not the formal 1972 Mao screenprint portfolio. It is printed exhibition material connected to the same image group.
