description Gold Marilyn Monroe Overview
Gold Marilyn Monroe is a 1962 work by Andy Warhol featuring Marilyn Monroe's face isolated at the center of a broad gold field. Warhol derived the image from a publicity photograph and reproduced it through silkscreen, allowing the face to appear both recognizable and mechanically mediated. Made shortly after Monroe's death and held by the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the work connects celebrity imagery with repetition, reproduction, commemoration, and the visual traditions of religious icons.
