Warhol's Golden Icon: Marilyn Monroe 10 Print Portfolio | Sunday B. Morning 11.35-11.44
The prints from the Golden Marilyn Monroe Series comprise a collection as tribute to both Marilyn Monroe and her canonization in the eye of the American public but also as a tribute to Andy Warhol's own famous Gold Marilyn Monroe Portrait famously housed in New York's MoMA. Each color variation features metallic ink, not just gold, and elevated the Pop Art Icon to a saintly level of celebrity following her tragic early death. Unlike the standard color versions that featured solid bold colors, this series uses the shimmering metallic ink in high gloss to frame the subject's face, highlighting the contrast between her eternal public image and the transient nature of fame.
Produced with the exacting standards of Sunday B. Morning's other "after" editions that are famously referenced in the Warhol Catalogue Raisonnés, these screenprints are crafted using archival metallic inks and the same high-quality silkscreen process as the original Factory Editions. Printed on museum board at 36" x 36" in a limited edition of 2000 and Stamped with the Sunday B.
