Andy Warhol Marilyn. High Quality Lithograph
As a memorial to the late starlet, Andy Warhol created his first portrait of Marilyn Monroe. In the months after the actress tragically passed away in August 1962. Warhol revisited her image five years later, presenting 10 reproductions of the actress in high-contrast hues for his iconic Marilyn Monroe suite. Modeled after a publicity image of Monroe from the 1953 film.
The portraits are a quintessential example of Warhols obsession with celebrity culture and repetition. The suite also marked a turning point in Warhols career as he embraced silkscreen printinga technique that allowed him to mass-produce images of his muses, erasing the imperfections that made them human in the process. Warhol is often credited with making an idol out of Monroe, immortalizing her in youthful beauty for future generations. This artwork is in excellent condition, we never framed it or exposed it. High quality lithograph on white Rives BFK paper.
