An exhibition of the art of Andy Warhol, one of the greatest artists of the 20th century, will be held at the Scottish Parliament later this year.
Works by the godfather of pop art – including images of Lenin, Mao, and former US presidents John F Kennedy, Jimmy Carter and Richard Nixon – will be part of the show.
Some of the works have never been exhibited outside of the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, with the free-to-enter show opening on October 4.
It has been arranged by the Carnegie UK Trust, and gifted to the Parliament by the Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh in recognition of the UK trust's centenary.
Warhol, from Pittsburgh, took free art classes at the Carnegie Institute, now the Carnegie Museum of Art, and then studied at the Carnegie Institute of Technology, now Carnegie Mellon University.
Andrew Carnegie was a philanthropist and steel magnate from Fife, who gave way £3billion .
Andy Warhol: Pop, Power and Politics, which will run until November 3, will include Flash – November 22, 1963, screenprints about the assassination of John F Kennedy, and Warhol's portrait of Carnegie.
