In 1968 Richard Feigen Gallery in Chicago organized a protest exhibiton against Mayor Richard Daley which included works by 50 artists. James Rosenquist, one of the most political of the Pop artists, produced a pink and white mylar portrait of Mayor Daley, "Facade", slashed into strips. Rosenquist then used the same image of Daley, taken from a newspaper photograph, as the basis for this lithograph - the portiait was hand-drawn on the lithographic stone.

This image was included in the 1999 Museum of Modern Art exhibition "Pop Impressions. Europe/USA"
