Directly from the estate of Andy Warhol comes this striking black and white photograph capturing the iconic movie star Marilyn Monroe. Warhol's fascination with Monroe is well-documented, and he extensively collected images of her as part of his artistic process.
Notably, just two years ago, in May 2022, Warhol's Portrait of Marilyn Monroe (Shot Sage Blue Marilyn) fetched a remarkable $195 million at auction in New York, underscoring the enduring allure of his depictions of the Hollywood legend.
This photograph, presented in good condition with minor creasing along the edges, prominently displays visible stamps from the Warhol Estate on both the front and back. This artwork is professionally framed.
