About the Item

ANDY WARHOL Marilyn Monroe (Portfolio of 10) 1970-2020 Silkscreen on Museum Board 91.4 × 91.4 cm (36 × 36 in) Stamped in blue ink on verso, "Published by Sunday B. Morning" and "fill in your own signature.” In mint condition Unframed Of all Andy Warhol's celebrity subjects, none seem more perfectly emblematic of how the artist perceived and synthesized 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. Warhol liked watching Hollywood films, saying that the only real reason we watch movies is to see the stars and to see them as often as possible. The first portfolio of Marilyn’s silkscreens was published in 1967 and later became one of the most iconic and memorable representations of the actress, and consequently one of the most sought after printed editions of Warhol’s work. He created a series of 10 variations in what is now referred to as the Marilyn Series, each with virtually the same composition, but different color variations. These prints are made from reproductions of Warhol’s original silkscreens from 1967. “I just see Monroe as just another person. As for whether it's symbolical to paint Monroe in such violent colors: it's beauty, and she's beautiful and if something's beautiful it's pretty colors, that's all.„ —Andy Warhol ABOUT THE ARTIST Andy Warhol (1928-1987) was an American artist, a leading figure of the Pop Art movement. Using a variety of media materials from photographs up to computer-generated art, Warhol's works explore the relationship between artistic expression, celebrity, culture and advertisement that flourished by the 1960s. Emerging from the poverty and obscurity of an Eastern European immigrant family in Pittsburgh, Warhol became a charismatic magnet for bohemian New York. In 1960, he began to produce his first canvases depicting Popeye and Dick Tracy. After Marilyn Monroe’s death in August 1962, he started working from snapshots of the star’s already legendary face, which had been widely distributed by the world’s press. His choice of subjects clearly relates to an obsession with demise – his Marilyns, his Ten Lizies (created when the actress Elizabeth Taylor was seriously ill), and also his Elvis. Part of the “Death and Disaster” series, Andy Warhol´s Marilyn Monroes are undoubtedly iconic portraits of our era, exploring as they do the artist’s fascination for images of death and beauty. He worked across many media as a painter, printmaker, illustrator, film-maker, and writer, and produced many world-famous series. Andy Warhol Flower´s series reinterprets a traditional motif spanning the history of art, while Warhol´s Cambell´s Soup Can series represents the mass-produced, printed advertisements that inspired him since his childhood. Towards the end of 1962, the artist turned to the photo-silkscreen process, which became his signature medium. From 1963 up until 1968, the year in which he was shot, Warhol – surrounded by assistants in his studio The Factory – took the industrial character of his work to its climax. Warhol has been the subject of numerous retrospective exhibitions and books, as well as feature and documentary films. The Andy Warhol Museum in his native city, Pittsburgh, is the largest museum in the United States dedicated to a single artist. Andy Warhol´s artworks are some of the most influential works of art of the second half of the twentieth century, representing the most recognizable images ever produced. “ Once you ‘got’ Pop, you could never see a sign again in the same way again. And once you thought Pop, you could never see America in the same way again. ” —Andy Warhol Andy Warhol (1928-1987) was an American artist, a leading figure of the Pop Art movement.
