Untitled from Marilyn Monroe (1967) is one of a portfolio of ten 36×36 silkscreened prints by the pop artist Andy Warhol, showcasing 1950s controversial film star Marilyn Monroe after her death in 1962. The original image was borrowed by Warhol from a promotional still captured by and released for the film Niagara (1953) featuring Monroe, raising questions on the extent of artistic appropriation. The cropped and ultimately untouched images have since been recognised as iconic and influential on contemporary art, forming the foundations of what is now known as pop art.

  • Untitled from Marilyn Monroe (1967) is one of a portfolio of ten 36×36 silkscreened prints by the pop artist Andy Warhol, showcasing 1950s controversial film star Marilyn Monroe after her death in 1962. The original image was borrowed by Warhol from a promotional still captured by and released for the film Niagara (1953) featuring Monroe, raising questions on the extent of artistic appropriation. The cropped and ultimately untouched images have since been recognised as iconic and influential on contemporary art, forming the foundations of what is now known as pop art. Whilst the portfolio is viewed as one entity, each print has been recognised as a stand-alone and is named after the colours in the work, some of which include Orange Marilyn, Lemon Marilyn, and White Marilyn. After the first prints were made in 1967, they were sold by Warhol for as little as $250. However, with his rise in fame, in 1998 Orange Marilyn sold for $17.3 million and more recently, the White Marilyn sold for $41 million. (en)
