Vintage poster for "Marilyn"

A vintage "Marilyn" poster in the Pop Art style. The print, from 1964, was created for one of Andy Warhol's exhibitions during his lifetime. The poster is framed in a modern, sophisticated red and black frame. It features fragments from Warhol's "Marilyn" diptych, dedicated to one of the iconic actresses, Marilyn Monroe.


Warhol began working on the diptych itself in 1962, a week after the actress's death. The poster is based on a publicity shot of Marilyn from the 1952 film "Niagara." The idea of ​​the American cult of celebrity, and how it transforms after a star's death, was embodied in this canvas featuring 50 portraits of Marilyn, half in vibrant color and the other in black and white. Critics and art historians note that the diptych with Marilyn is like a metaphor that conveys the multifaceted legacy left behind by Marilyn's life and work.
