The mixed media art by Albert Niemeyer often portrays historic figures and events. This particular piece is a comment on the commercial side of the American society in general and specifically the influence of pop-art. A donut is used as a halo above the portrait of Andy Warhol who of course is the embodiment of pop-art. You can also see a disformed donkey puppet. This comments on the democratic system (the Democratic Party have a donkey in their flag) that is in itself far from perfect and heavily supported by large corporations. Hence the Michelin figure. On the right you can find a reference to the Oscars in the form of a golden puppet which is also far from perfect. On the right and bottom edge you can see fragment of a book that Warhol wrote: From A to B and back again.
