PROPERTY FROM THE COLLECTION OF DR. JOHN DRISCOLL, NEW YORK Andy Warhol Marilyn Monroe (Marilyn) 1967 Screenprint in colors, on wove paper, the full sheet, S. 6 x 6 in. (15.2 x 15.2 cm). signed in pencil, stamp numbered 16/100 on the reverse, (there are also artist's proofs signed and annotated 'a.p.' on the reverse), published by Factory Additions, New York, to announce the publication of the Marilyn Monroe (Marilyn) portfolio, minute insect damage in the upper right corner, slight surface wear at center right, otherwise in very good condition, framed.
Literature Frayda Feldman and Jörg Schellmann 21 Artist Bio Andy Warhol American • 1928 - 1987 A seminal figure in the Pop Art movement of the early 1960s, Andy Warhol's paintings and screenprints are iconic beyond the scope of Art History, having become universal signifiers of an age. An early career in commercial illustration led to Warhol's appropriation of imagery from American popular culture and insistent concern with the superficial wonder of permanent commodification that yielded a synthesis of word and image, of art and the everyday. Warhol's obsession with creating slick, seemingly mass-produced artworks led him towards the commercial technique of screenprinting, which allowed him to produce large editions of his painted subjects. The clean, mechanical surface and perfect registration of the screenprinting process afforded Warhol a revolutionary absence of authorship that was crucial to the Pop Art manifesto. View More Works
