Image description
Andy Warhol was well known in the 1960s for his works appropriated from advertisements and popular culture icons. Marilyn x 100 is the largest of Warhol’s many renderings of Marilyn Monroe (1926-62), prompted by her suicide in 1962. Based on publicity photos, the painting has a strong visual duality. Astringent colours painted over the 50 silk-screened images on the left oppose the 50 black and white portraits that recall newspaper images of the actress. Some of the images are printed off-register, others are smudged or faded. Each print of Monroe’s face is flawed, and collectively they refer to the synthetic façade of celebrity that is repeatedly mass-produced and consumed. Warhol explored Monroe’s face as a sacred image-visibly damaged and deteriorated, yet celebrated as a cultural icon.
