A Modern Finish for Warhol's Most "Pop-ular" Portrait | Marilyn Monroe in Diamond Dust
This Sunday B. Morning silkscreen featuring Pop Art's most famous face, Marilyn Monroe, is elevated to a new level with a truly modern addition, "Diamond Dust." Inspired by Andy Warhol's later experiments with texture and light, this print on heavy museum board replaces the flatter bold color separations of the original Marilyn Monroe Series, 1967 with a mulidimensional, crystalline finish that dances across the surface. Although a contemporary variation on Warhol's original design, it's pop art lineage is still fully intact as illustrated by the bold and vibrant ink contrasting the sparkle of the crushed glass addition that gives Marilyn her Hollywood sparkle.
Produced with the same meticulous silkscreening techniques and vibrant pigments that have made Sunday B. Morning the gold standard for Warhol editions, this piece measures a commanding 36" x 36". The inclusion of Diamond Dust—fine particles of crushed glass applied to the wet ink—gives the work a physical depth and a reactive quality that changes depending on the lighting in your space. Each print carries the signature blue ink stamps on the verso, "Published by Sunday B. Morning" and "fill in your own signature," marking its place in the storied "afters" lineage. It is a sophisticated, museum-grade statement piece that perfectly bridges the gap between 1960s grit and high-fashion glamour, made for the contemporary collector as part of a limited edition of 2500.
