In 1967, Andy Warhol paid homage to Marilyn Monroe with a series of 10 silkscreen portraits. These iconic works, resplendent with bright colors and repetitive grid patterns, epitomized 20th-century pop art and highlighted Warhol's fascination with celebrity culture and the commodification of images.

Marilyn - a transcendent figure of her time - was the perfect muse for Warhol, who shared her journey from outsider to stardom. Utilizing a promo image from "Niagara" as his canvas, Warhol crafted 10 vibrant colorways, each with an edition size of 250 plus 26 labeled A-Z.

The Marilyn series (FS 22-31) catapulted Warhol into the pantheon of the 1960s' most important artists. Our print, a bold pink FS 31, is numbered #81/250 and bears the artist's signature in pencil on the reverse.Marilyn joins Freeport's first offered collection along with other pop culture icons immortalized by Warhol, such as "Rebel Without a Cause," "Mick Jagger," and "Double Mickey Mouse," creating a vivid tapestry of influential symbols during his lifetime.
