Outcome for this serigraph was a press photo by Gene Korman from the year 1953, which Andy Warhol acquired shortly after the death of Marilyn Monroe. In 1967, Warhol designs 10 color serigraphs according to this motif with a limited edition of 250 exemplars. The original portfolio comprising 10 serigraphs in various colors of Marilyn’s portrait, from which our copy comes from, was published in 1967 in a signed and numbered edition of 250 copies.
Condition:
The sheet is mounted at the top edge to a support and framed behind glass. It is in good condition with slight signs of wear consistent with its age. Primarily in the margins one finds occasional retouching, slight creases and scattered minor scuffing of the surface. In the lower left corner a more conspicuous retouching is visible as well as faint handling creases in the right margin. Otherwise the print is overall of good impression.
Andy Warhol (1928-1987)
Andy Warhol, founder and leading figure of the American Pop art, was born in 1928 as a son of a Russian family in Pittsburgh. He began his artistic career by creating advertising graphics. In 1956, he presented his first graphic works at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In the early 1960s, Warhol began experimenting with different techniques and started focusing on typical American objects of the consumer society, as for example Campbell’s soup cans or Coca Cola bottles. In 1962, Warhol started with his series of portraits of famous stars, such as Marilyn Monroe or Elvis Presley, who were then at the height of their career. His well-known studio ‘The Factory’ was a meeting point for internationally successful artists, actors and musicians. As early as the 1970s, galleries started exhibiting Warhol’s work, which is now part of some of the most famous collections, including the Modern Museum of Art in New York, the Tate Modern in London and the Musée d’Art Moderne in Paris.
