Marilyn Monroe 22 by Andy Warhol is a screenprint from the artist’s Marilyn Monroe series published in 1967. This variation on Marilyn’s image is sometimes called the “red Marilyn” or the “purple-red Marilyn.” These works are some of Warhol’s most iconic and genre-defining creations. Just like his Campbell’s Soup Cans, the portfolio earned Andy his title as the pioneer of pop-art, and was greatly influential in the success of the new art movement. Marilyn Monroe depicts the actress bathed in vibrant hues and flat colors, a signature of Andy’s style and the Pop Art sensibility. The portfolio encapsulates his fascinations, and illustrates an intersection of American pop-culture, consumerism, and Andy’s obsessions with both mass-production and fame.
