Shot Orange Marilyn: Classic Art Reproduction
Shot Orange Marilyn: Classic Art Reproduction
By Andy Warhol (1928-1987), in a Private Collection
A stunning, framed replica on artists' grade canvas
This devotional image of Marilyn Monroe is Pop Art at its finest. The work of American artist Warhol brilliantly showcases his strong use of color, repetitive form, and a well-known icon to create one of the most compelling statements of the 20th century. We’ve finished this art-grade print under Plexiglas and surrounded it with an imported, matte black, contemporary-style hardwood frame. Includes a solid brass museum plate etched with the title and artist’s name.

He received sudden notoriety in 1962, when he exhibited paintings of Campbell s soup cans, Coca-Cola bottles and wooden replicas of Brillo Soap Pad boxes.
By 1963, Warhol was producing many images of consumer goods and variations of portraits of celebrities, including Jackie Kennedy, and infamously, his silk-screen depictions of Marilyn Monroe, such as Shot Orange Marilyn. Warhol also founded The Factory, which was not only his studio, but also a breeding ground for underground celebrities, artists, writers, musicians and avant-garde filmmakers.
