"Featuring bold depictions of heroes of the West — including towering figures such as John Wayne, Annie Oakley, Geronimo, and Theodore Roosevelt, as well as symbolic objects like an Indian Head nickel, a Northwest Coast mask, and kachina dolls — it’s an excellent companion to the traveling exhibition or a terrific stand-in if you can’t make the show."

"The writings that take seriously the way Warhol’s obsessions have (re)produced white America’s fantasy of indigenous life are particularly effective at offering a new read on Warhol as an artist. . . .the text exposes...an emptiness in Warhol’s work, ultimately revealing the power and seduction of a fantasy about America that has always been harmful."
