Lot Note(s): Signed in black marker, center right. Edition size unspecified. Light cream wove paper. The full sheet. Very good impression. Good condition; studio stamp, verso. Comment(s): Scarce, and rare signed. A lifetime printing by Shorewood Publishers. This image was also printed by Shorewood after Warhol's death. To the best of our knowledge, the print run of our example with the text reading "Andy Warhol (American 1930-) [sic]" is the only lifetime printing as a poster of this image. Undoubtedly to be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonne of Warhol's non-commissioned posters by Paul Marechal. The painting was completed during the weeks after Monroe's death in August 1962. Sometimes referred to as "Marilyn x 50" it contains fifty images of the actress, which are all based on a single publicity photograph from the film 'Niagara' (1953). The twenty-five pictures on the left side of the diptych are brightly colored, while the twenty-five on the right are in black and white. It has been suggested that the relation between the left side of the canvas and the right side of the canvas is evocative of the relation between the celebrity's life and death. The painting is currently owned by the Tate. In a December 2, 2004 article in 'The Guardian', the painting was named the third most influential work of modern art in a survey of 500 artists, critics, and others.
