A colour screenprint entitled Marilyn, produced after one of the most recognisable images associated with Andy Warhol (1928-1987), the celebrated American artist and leading figure of twentieth-century Pop Art.
The composition is based on the iconic portrait of Marilyn Monroe, transformed by Warhol into a symbol of mass culture, cinematic mythology and the new visual language of post-war America. Through the use of screenprinting, the artist reinterpreted the conventions of serial imagery, advertising and the mass media, dissolving the boundaries between fine art and popular culture.
The present work belongs to a limited edition of 250 impressions and is numbered 94/250. The reverse bears the inscription: “Marilyn. Sunday B Morning. Fill in your own signature”.
