"Marilyn" by Andy Warhol - Published by Sunday B. Morning. On the back: "Published by Sunday B. Morning" and "Fill in Your Own Signature". Published in the Andy Warhol Catalogue Raisonné by Feldman & Schellman. Technique: Serigraph on cardboard Dimensions: 91.5 x 91.5 cm Among all the images that Andy Warhol has transformed into icons of contemporary culture, that of Marilyn Monroe is perhaps the most powerful and recognizable. After the actress's death in 1962, Warhol chose to rework a promotional photograph from the 1953 film Niagara to create a series of silkscreen works that would mark an entire era. In true Pop Art spirit, Warhol repeats the image serially, varying the colors of the face, hair, and background. Sometimes the tones are bright and artificial, other times dark and melancholic. This contrast reflects the dual nature of Marilyn: a luminous Hollywood star and, at the same time, a fragile and tragic figure. A powerful reflection on celebrity, beauty, and myth in consumer society. This version of color silkscreen work is recognizable by the stamp "Published by Sunday B. Morning" and the back marked "Fill in Your Own Signature", a clear ironic nod to the art world. The Sunday B Morning editions, created as unofficial unsigned reprints, carry on an ironic game about the art world and, with the famous inscription on the back "Fill in your own signature", the work becomes accessible, multiplied, perfectly in line with Warhol's vision: art for all.
