100 years of Marilyn Monroe.
Born on 1 June 1926, Marilyn Monroe remains one of the defining figures of modern visual culture. For Andy Warhol, her image became a way to explore celebrity, beauty, tragedy and mass media, transforming a Hollywood publicity still from 'Niagara' into one of the most recognisable images in art history.
First created shortly after Monroe’s death in 1962, Warhol’s Marilyn works turned repetition, colour and silkscreen printing into a language of fame itself, capturing how modern culture manufactures and consumes icons.
Today, Warhol’s Marilyn prints continue to hold exceptional cultural and market significance, combining blue-chip status, institutional recognition and enduring collector demand.
