A tiny, short, double scuff mark on the surface in the lower right corner within the purple background. Alexander Iolas, New York, ed. Cadre. Andy Warhol created the two-piece portfolio *Alexander the Great* in 1982, in collaboration with the Hellenic Heritage Foundation. This series was created in conjunction with the exhibition “The Search for Alexander,” presented at the Metropolitan Museum of Art from October 27, 1982, to January 3, 1983. For these images, Warhol drew inspiration from a Hellenistic-period bronze bust of Alexander in a private collection. The choice of an ancient sculpture rather than a painting gives this portfolio a unique place in the artist’s body of work.
