After Andy Warhol (1928-1987) MARILYN MONROE A suite of ten, by Sunday B. Morning, each print bearing the blue ink stamp `Published By Sunday B. Morning` and `Fill In Your Own Signature` verso, on each. colour screenprints, full sheet printed to the edges depicting Marilyn Monroe in various colour combinations, printed on heavy museum board 91.2 x 91.2cms; 36 x 36in., each unframed With certificate of authenticity and original box. "In August `62 I started doing silkscreens. I wanted something stronger that gave more of an assembly line effect. With silkscreening you pick a photograph, blow it up, transfer it in glue onto silk, and then roll ink across it so that the ink goes through the silk but not through the glue. That way you get the same image, slightly different each time. It was also simple, quick and chancy. I was thrilled with it. When Marilyn Monroe happened to die that month, I got the idea to make silkscreens of her beautiful face `The First Marilyns`. (Andy Warhol). See illustration
