Marilyn Monroe by Andy Warhol
Original Vintage Exhibition Poster, 1971

Original color 20 x 30" promotional poster for an Andy Warhol exhibition held at London's Tate Gallery from February 17 to March 28, 1971, featuring an iconic image of the artist's silkscreened Marilyn Monroe, entitled 'Shot Sage Blue Marilyn'.

The month of Monroe's tragic death, Warhol, who had only just begun experimenting with the silkscreen process, decided to pay tribute to the late screen legend with a series of multicolored paintings. The basis of this image, and those that represent Warhol's iconic 'Marilyn Diptych,' derives from a publicity shot by Gene Korman for the 1953 film Niagara. A gorgeous vintage Warhol exhibition poster, this museum-quality display piece is one of Warhol's most identifiable and desirable subjects. The original silkscreen painting of 'Shot Sage Blue Marilyn' recently sold at auction for a record $195,000,000.
