Description:

This unique work by Bernard Aubertin, master of combustion and central figure of the ZERO movement, presents a poster depicting the famous pop icon Marilyn Monroe in her most iconic pose.

Aubertin directly intervenes on the poster with real burn marks, allowing the fire to cross the image and transform its surface. The traces of combustion — dark marks, material openings, burned areas — become an integral part of the composition, creating a powerful dialogue between pop culture and radical gesture.

The artist's autograph signature, accompanied by the date 2010, confirms the authenticity of the work and places it in the mature phase of his research, when Aubertin experimented with non-traditional supports and with iconic images of visual culture.
