This work referencing Untitled from Marilyn Monroe (1967) was one of a portfolio of ten 36 x 36 silkscreened prints by the pop artist Andy Warhol, showcasing 1950's controversial film star Marilyn Monroe after her passing in 1962, creating an intersection of art, glamour and death. The original image was borrowed by Warhol from a promotional still captured by Gene Kornman 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.
