Alexander The Great continues Warhol’s exploration of celebrity and politics. As with Black Lenin, Warhol’s creativity led to him exploring famous and powerful figures in history including Queen Elizabeth II and Chairman Mao. The work itself reminds the viewer of classical Greek sculpture where the noble leader is in the centre of the work, proudly staring into the distant deep in thought.1of 8
