Abstract
This article explores Andy Warhol’s Hammer and Sickle series of the 1970s. It outlines the history of its production, and examines the place of politics, especially communism, within Warhol’s drawings, paintings and photographs. Most commentary on the Hammer and Sickle series has emphasized the power of the symbol in the United States, but this article explores the value of reading Warhol’s series as ‘European’.
