To support the forthcoming exhibition Exposure: Native Art and Political Ecology, planned for 2021, Well-Off-Man will visit Indigenous communities in Australia, Canada, Greenland, and the United States, and investigate how their artists have responded to damage caused by nuclear and uranium poisoning on and around their land. An exhibition catalogue will also be produced exploring the deleterious effects nuclear testing has had on native communities around the world.

Philip Johnson commissioned Warhol to make a large-scale work for the exterior for his pavilion for the New York World’s Fair, along with other artists. Warhol’s provocative response, a multiple portrait of ‘Most Wanted Men’ was installed a few days before the opening but was deemed too inflammatory and contrary to the upbeat image of the World’s Fair and the work was taken down.
