An enduring icon of twentieth-century visual culture, Andy Warhol’s Marilyn Monroe 28 (1967) captures the actress through the artist’s signature language of repetition, glamour, and celebrity. This 36 × 36-inch screenprint is signed and numbered from an edition of 250. Its instantly recognisable subject, strong graphic presence, and celebrated place within Warhol’s Marilyn series make it a desirable work for collectors of Pop Art.
Marilyn Monroe 28 by Andy Warhol belongs to his iconic Marilyn Monroe series, first created in 1962 after Monroe’s death. Warhol based the image on her publicity photograph from Niagara, then used silkscreen, vivid color, and repetition to turn a film star into a lasting Pop Art icon. The contrast between Monroe’s glamorous image and her tragic death gives the series a deeper edge, exploring fame, beauty, mortality, and the power of mass media.
There is no recognized street-graffiti version. Warhol’s Marilyn works were produced through his studio screen-printing process for the fine-art world, rather than the street-art tradition that emerged later.
For collectors, Marilyn remains one of Warhol’s most sought-after subjects. Rarity, edition details, color, condition, signature, provenance, and authenticity all influence market value. The image’s instant recognition also gives it strong long-term collector appeal.
From our gallery perspective, Marilyn 28 captures Warhol at his most commercially sharp. He takes a familiar celebrity photograph and transforms it into an image that feels both glamorous and haunting.
Artistically, it belongs to Warhol’s breakthrough early-1960s Pop period, alongside Campbell’s Soup, Coca-Cola, Flowers, and later celebrity portraits. For collectors seeking a defining Warhol image with lasting cultural and market relevance, Marilyn 28 is a compelling acquisition.
