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

Marilyn Monroe (Yellow) by WarHo™ is a 2025 screenprint on canvas that immerses the iconic image of Monroe in a bold field of saturated yellow. The brightness of the background flattens the pictorial space, casting the portrait in a charged, high-contrast glow. The result is a work that feels both energized and estranged—Monroe’s face hovers at the surface, her features emerging from the color like a memory made vivid through repetition. Here, yellow doesn’t soften—it vibrates.

As with all works in the WarHo™ collection, the image is drawn from the original Gene Korman publicity still, hand-pulled from custom silkscreens that honor Warhol’s technique while introducing new material choices and chromatic direction. The yellow hue evokes associations with caution, energy, and mass appeal—the color of warning signs and fast food branding, as well as of sunshine and light. In this context, it becomes a lens through which fame is cast not just as allure, but as spectacle, saturation, and oversaturation.

In Marilyn Monroe (Yellow), the icon remains—but her presence feels filtered through the visual logic of advertising and pop media. WarHo™’s use of yellow invites viewers to reflect on the brightness of Monroe’s image, and how that brightness has both illuminated and overwhelmed her legacy. The print pulses with the double-edged allure of visibility itself.
