$4,995.00
Guaranteed Authentic
Groundbreaking American Artist, filmmaker and Art icon, ANDY WARHOL authentic autograph original 20" x 30" oversized MARILYN promotional poster print signed promoting Warhol's exhibition at London's Tate Gallery from February 17 to March 28, 1971. Featuring an iconic image of the artist's silkscreened Marilyn Monroe entitled 'Shot Sage Blue Marilyn,' the poster is signed and inscribed boldly across the lower portion in bold, black felt tip marker, “To Doug, Andy Warhol.”
The original seller indicated that this poster was signed during Warhol's infamous 1981 visit to Colorado State University in Ft. Collins, Colorado and was obtained by his father who met Warhol. During his Fort Collins visit, Warhol attended the opening reception for an exhibition of his work in CSU’s Clara Hatton Gallery, participated in interviews and signed autographs. Warhol signed everything — even a snake that someone brought got signed!
The month of Monroe's tragic death, Warhol, who had only just begun experimenting with the silkscreen process, decided to pay tribute to the late screen legend with a series of multicolored paintings. The basis of this image, and those that represent Warhol's iconic 'Marilyn Diptych,' derives from a publicity shot by Gene Korman for the 1953 film NIAGARA. A gorgeous vintage Warhol exhibition poster in its own right, this museum-quality display piece finds Warhol signing one of his most identifiable and desirable subjects. The original silkscreen painting of 'Shot Sage Blue Marilyn' recently sold at auction for a record $195,000,000.
Don't miss your chance to own the very same Warhol signature attached to multimillion dollar pieces of art on perhaps his most iconic image.
