Marilyn

1967
Not on view
Questa piccola, ma straordinaria immagine di Marilyn Monroe fu spedita per posta come volantino pubblicitario per annunciare la pubblicazione di “Marilyn” un portfolio di dieci grandi serigrafie di Warhol. In questa immagine, Warhol alterò la fotografia pubblicitaria di Marilyn Monroe eseguita per il film Niagara del 1953, aggiungendo dei colori Day-Glo sul volto dell’attrice. Ciascuna opera del portfolio presenta colori diversi, stratificati utilizzando la tecnica commerciale della serigrafia, che l’artista sfruttò ulteriormente stampando le immagini fuori registro e in grandi tirature. La scelta di Warhol di adottare metodi commerciali ha trasformato l’immagine di Marilyn da dea sensuale e inaccessibile a un prodotto di consumo, accessibile a tutti a un prezzo contenuto.
