Whitney Museum of American Art label
To create the unique edition of 300 impressions numbered 1 through 300, Andy Warhol used a Mao drawing as the basis for the master impression. Andy Warhol then sequentially created the respective Unique Xerox print, each time enlarging and elongating the image approximately 1% to 2%. The result is that lower edition numbers from the unique edition of 300 more closely resemble Mao, while higher edition numbers are more abstract.
