Marilyn Monroe (Rose Gold) by WarHo™ is a 2025 screenprint on canvas that casts the iconic image of Monroe in a refined, ethereal light. Set against a smooth field of rose gold acrylic, the portrait appears suspended in warmth and quiet radiance. The metallic surface gives off a subtle shimmer—never flashy, but luminous—imbuing the piece with an atmosphere of delicacy and grace. It’s a palette that speaks in hushed tones, offering reverence without spectacle.
True to WarHo™’s method, the image is screenprinted by hand using custom silkscreens derived from the original Gene Korman publicity photo, which is in the public domain. The texture of the halftone pattern remains central, grounding the work in the visual language of Pop, while the rose gold field modernizes the aesthetic with a softness that feels more reflective—literally and emotionally. It’s a material choice that gestures toward beauty and luxury, yet holds space for vulnerability. In this light, Monroe’s expression seems less performed and more preserved.
Marilyn Monroe (Rose Gold) is neither shrine nor screen—it is something in between. WarHo™ uses tone and surface here not to flatten the image, but to elevate its ambiguity. The result is a portrait that invites viewers not just to admire, but to linger—an image that glows not from fame, but from within.
