Andy Warhol's Thirteen Most Wanted Men was commissioned by architect Philip Johnson for the exterior of his New York State Pavilion at the 1964 New York State World's Fair. The mural was produced, installed, and then covered over in a coat of silver paint before the fair even opened. Together, the thirteen interviews in this book reveal the forces that might have caused the destruction of a work of art at a major international expo.
This publication accompanies the exhibition 13 Most Wanted Men: Andy Warhol and the 1964 New York World's Fair, organized by the Queens Museum and The Andy Warhol Museum on the fiftieth anniversary of the incident at the fair.
