From 1982 to 1987, Andy Warhol made 503 works composed of black-and-white photographic prints stitched together with thread. These works are indebted to his earlier repetitive silkscreen paintings and are also the result of lifelong photographic exploration and a prolific decade when the artist shot over 124,000 frames. Subverting the objectivity of photography by making viewers aware of photographic mediation through multiples of images, Warhol paradoxically made unique objects in his many photographic series. The spectacular stitched Great Wall of China is shown amongst other China stills, prints, portraits and rare Cultural Revolution photographs. This exhibition examines where and when Prop and Pop morphed to Popaganda.
