Marilyn Monroe (Gold) - Screenprint on Canvas 20" x 20"

Marilyn Monroe (Gold) by WarHo™ is a 2025 screenprint on canvas that bathes the iconic Hollywood portrait in a field of lustrous metallic gold. The surface shimmers with a quiet opulence, giving the familiar image of Monroe a sense of reverence—less pop, more icon. Silkscreened in rich black ink, her expression floats with clarity and poise against the radiant background, recalling not just the glamour of celebrity, but the gilded tradition of devotional imagery. Here, Monroe becomes something more than a star—she is canonized.

Consistent with WarHo™’s meticulous practice, this piece is pulled by hand using original screens based on the Gene Korman publicity photograph famously adopted by Warhol. The use of acrylic polymer and silkscreen ink preserves the tactile immediacy of the medium, while the choice of gold as a background elevates the work into a space of myth. As with each piece in the series, subtle imperfections in the print reveal the human hand behind the process, grounding the divine in the everyday.

With its warm gleam and minimal palette, Marilyn Monroe (Gold) reflects on value—both literal and symbolic. It speaks to the currency of fame, the way beauty is enshrined, and how cultural figures are transformed into modern-day icons. This work invites viewers to look up, not just at a screen legend, but at a symbol polished by time and media into something transcendent.
