Marilyn Monroe (Gold) by WarHo™ is a 2025 screenprint on a 12 x 12 inch canvas that captures the iconic portrait of Monroe in a field of radiant metallic gold. Though small in scale, the piece holds a quiet monumentality—the gold background, applied with metallic spray paint, glows with a subtle warmth that elevates the image beyond pop and into the realm of the iconic. The familiar features of Monroe emerge in crisp black silkscreen, her gaze steady and serene against the gilded surface.

As with all of WarHo™’s works, the image is hand-pulled from custom silkscreens based on the Gene Korman publicity photograph famously used by Warhol. In this compact format, the gold feels less like spectacle and more like aura—suggesting reverence, value, and the intimate glow of something treasured. The surface may shimmer, but the overall effect is hushed, like a personal relic of an image we thought we knew.

Marilyn Monroe (Gold) invites close viewing. Its modest dimensions do not diminish its weight—instead, they concentrate it. This is a portrait that doesn’t proclaim its importance, but radiates it quietly, gilding a familiar face with a sense of timeless devotion.
