Catalogue of the Warhol exhibition accompanied by a black silk-screen print in the manner of a police mug shot (face of John Joseph Jr., one of the "wanted", 21 x 17 cm) and with a text by Otto Hahn. "The Thirteen Most Wanted Men" is a large mural created for the New York State Pavilion at the 1964 World's Fair in Flushing Meadows. Intended for a circular cinema, the installation consisted of an enlargement of a police booklet illustrated with photographs of 13 of the most wanted men. Warhol later reused these silkscreens in a smaller format (1.2 x 1 m), notably for his Paris exhibition.
