Marilyn Monroe (Warhol)
Marilyn Monroe, also known as Marilyn, is a 1967 portfolio of ten silkscreen prints by American artist Andy Warhol, depicting actress Marilyn Monroe. Published by Factory Additions, the portfolio is based on a publicity photograph from the 1953 film Niagara taken by Gene Kornman. Each print reproduces the same image of Monroe in different combinations of vivid, highly saturated colors characteristic of Warhol's Pop art style. Created five years after Monroe's death, the portfolio formed part of Warhol's long-running exploration of celebrity, repetition, and consumer culture. It was one of several series devoted to Monroe, following earlier works such as Gold Marilyn Monroe (1962), Marilyn Diptych (1962), and the Shot Marilyns (1964). The portfolio has become one of Warhol's most recognizable print series. Whilst the portfolio is viewed as one entity, each individual print may either be called Untitled from Marilyn Monroe.
