In fake watches the late 70's Andy Warhol visited Iran with the specific intention of fashioning portraits of both Shah Reza Pahlavi and Empress Farah Pahlavi in his trademark style.These portraits were finished in 1978, to be unveiled during the Shiraz Arts Festival later in the year, which was swiftly cancelled leading to the dissolution of the Monarchy and the rise of the Islamic Republic of Iran in 1979. During this transition period pop culture imagery of the Shah and Shahbanu was often destroyed or defaced. In particular, the new government used existing currency stock which featured the Shah’s prominent visage omega replique and began overprinted the image of the shah with a notable arabesque design that came in a variety of colors with black being the most commonly implemented.  Taking this original stamp design utilized on Iranian currency and layering it on top of these Warhol portraits,  the output conforming to the exact specifications of the original screen print now manifests  a archetypal paradigm in NeoOrientalist composition.
