Marilyn Monroe (White) - Screenprint with Black Diamond Dust on Canvas 40" x 40"

Marilyn Monroe (White) by WarHo™ is a 2025 screenprint on canvas that renders the star’s iconic portrait in a high-contrast palette of white and black, softened by the subtle shimmer of black diamond dust. The absence of color here is striking—it strips away the emotional cues of warmer or cooler hues, allowing Monroe’s features to emerge with stark clarity. The luminous white cast gives the work a ghostly elegance, amplifying the sense of Marilyn as both image and apparition, forever suspended in the glow of her legend.

WarHo™’s process-driven homage to Andy Warhol replicates not only the aesthetic but also the methods behind Warhol’s iconic silkscreens. Each piece begins with the same Gene Korman publicity photo that Warhol famously used—now in the public domain—and is meticulously pulled by hand from original screens. This hands-on approach embraces the slight imperfections that lend texture and individuality to every print. The addition of diamond dust—a visual signature of Warhol’s later works introduced by his master printer Rupert Jasen Smith—adds yet another layer of historical resonance. In WarHo™’s hands, it becomes a tribute not only to the myth of Monroe, but to the meticulous craftsmanship behind her most enduring image.

This version of Marilyn leans into minimalism while retaining the visual language of celebrity. It invites viewers to confront the foundations of her image, to see past the glamour and into the structure of her fame. Marilyn Monroe (White) is cool, crisp, and haunting—a monochrome icon made radiant through texture and light.
