The relationship between Marilyn Monroe and Andy Warhol transcends time and art history. Although they never met in person, Warhol turned Marilyn into an immortal symbol of Pop Art. His series of screen prints, inspired by a promotional photograph from the film Niagara (1953), transformed the actress's image into a masterpiece of repetition and colour. Warhol’s fascination with fame and death was captured in these screen prints, created in 1962, shortly after Marilyn’s tragic passing.
The use of vibrant colours and the mechanical repetition of the image reflect the impact of the media on the perception of celebrity. Warhol not only immortalised Marilyn but also questioned the commercialisation of movie stars and the fleeting nature of success. Through his art, he turned her into a visually irresistible product, yet with a melancholic undertone, evoking both her glamour and her vulnerability.
Marilyn's screen prints are an essential part of Pop Art’s DNA and have been reinterpreted over the years in various editions, including those by Sunday B. Morning. The version with blue stamps remains one of the most recognised in the contemporary art market, keeping alive the legacy of Warhol and his unintended muse.
