A defining image of Pop Art’s fascination with Hollywood, Andy Warhol’s Marilyn Monroe (FS II.24) (1967) presents the actress in an arresting hot-pink palette, based on a promotional photograph from the 1953 film Niagara. Measuring 36 × 36 inches, this screenprint belongs to Warhol’s celebrated Marilyn series. Its iconic subject, vivid treatment, and documented catalogue reference make it a distinguished choice for collectors of postwar art.
Marilyn Monroe (FS II.24) comes from Andy Warhol’s landmark 1967 Marilyn portfolio, created five years after Monroe’s death. Warhol based the image on Gene Kornman’s publicity photograph for Niagara, turning a Hollywood portrait into a defining Pop art icon. There is no original street-graffiti version: Warhol created the work as a fine-art screenprint, using repetition and bold colour rather than public-wall intervention.
The image explores fame, beauty, desire, mortality, and the pressure of celebrity culture. Marilyn’s carefully repeated face feels both glamorous and distant, showing how mass media can transform a person into an endlessly reproduced image.
For collectors, FS II.24 is one of Warhol’s most recognizable Marilyn images. Its strong visual identity, limited-edition format, and place within Warhol’s core Pop output support lasting demand and market importance. Condition and provenance remain key factors.
From our gallery experience, Marilyn works have an exceptional ability to anchor a collection. FS II.24 combines instant recognition with the deeper story that serious collectors value.
The work belongs to Warhol’s classic 1960s celebrity period, alongside his Elvis, Liz, and Jackie images. For collectors seeking a signature Warhol, Marilyn Monroe (FS II.24) remains a highly compelling choice.
