About the Item

ANDY WARHOL (after) Marilyn Silver, 2010 Porcelain Edition of 49 51 x 51 cm (20.1 x 20.1 in.) Facsimile signature in glaze, numbered on the reverse on label In wooden box, accompanied by Certificate of Authenticity from the Rosenthal Studio in collaboration with The Andy Warhol Foundation for the visual Arts INC., New York. In excellent condition Framed PLEASE NOTE: Edition numbers could vary from the one shown in the images. As a golden legend of Hollywood, Marilyn Monroe held particular fascination for Andy Warhol. Her suicide on 5 August, 1962 struck a personal chord and triggered a dedicatory series that isolated her beautiful and elusive face against variously colored, almost acidic, backdrops. Warhol’s Marilyn exemplified everything that Pop art was, thanks to its explicit reference to Marilyn Monroe, who was an icon of pop culture. In this edition, Marilyn is colored in silver and black, a stark departure from its vivid counterparts. This brings to mind the effect of watching the actress on the cinema screen in black and white. The dark colors are also a somber reminder of the actress’s passing. The artist's depictions of women and starlets explored the relationships between consumer society, fashion, fame, sensationalism, and death. It is also said that through his distinctive style of work, Warhol referred to a society in which individuals were seen as mere products rather than human beings. This edition of only 49 copies was published by Rosenthal studio-line, in collaboration with The Andy Warhol Foundation for the visual Arts INC., New York.

Signed in glaze, numbered on the reverse on label In wooden box, accompanied by Certificate of Authenticity from the Rosenthal Studio in collaboration with The Andy Warhol Foundation for the visual Arts INC., New York. In excellent condition Framed Of all Andy Warhol's celebrity subjects, none seem more perfectly emblematic of how the artist perceived and synthesised America than Marilyn Monroe. Warhol saw in Monroe all the promise, beauty, sex symbol, a Hollywood product, the fame and tragedy that 1960s America was capable of realizing. In his Marilyn portraits – which he began shortly after Monroe's death, in August 1962 and taking on the suggestion of Henry Geldzahler - it's impossible to locate what one might call the truth of the subject. Based on Warhol's painting Marilyn Diptych, which belongs to the collection of the Tate Museum in London. Marilyn's repeated face in a grid, is a clear indicators of Warhol's conceptual commercial printing. Every Saturday night and Sunday morning, the young Andrew Warhola and his mother made a 3 mile walk to Saint John Chrysostom church, a small Byzantine Catholic church. In the church he saw the iconostasis, which was a grid with religious pictures...
