Oil on board framed. Featuring a portrait of Marylin Monroe. Signed and attr. Andy Wahrol (American 1928-1987) Signature on lower right corner. 20.5 x 16.5 in (50.1 x 41.9 cm). Obsessed with celebrity, consumer culture, and mechanical (re)production, Pop artist Andy Warhol created some of the most iconic images of the 20th century. As famous for his quips as for his art—he variously mused that "art is what you can get away with" and "everyone will be famous for 15 minutes"—Warhol drew widely from popular culture and everyday subject matter, creating works like his 32 Campbell's Soup Cans (1962), Brillo pad box sculptures, and portraits of Marilyn Monroe, using the medium of silk-screen printmaking to achieve his characteristic hard edges and flat areas of color. PROVENANCE: Private Collection (Vienna, Austria)
