Andy Warhol's *Map of the Eastern U.S.S.R. Missile Bases* transforms Cold War-era military intelligence imagery into a bold work of synthetic polymer paint and silkscreen ink on canvas. True to Warhol's signature style, the appropriated map is rendered with flat, graphic clarity, stripping the ominous subject matter of its urgency and recasting it as a commercial-like visual object. The work reflects Warhol's ongoing fascination with mass media, geopolitical anxiety, and the aestheticization of information that defined American culture in the nuclear age.
