James Francis Gill
The Marilyn Triptych
As Marilyn Monroe: A Portrait opens at the National Portrait Gallery this summer, it offers an opportunity to reconsider not only the legacy of Marilyn Monroe, but the artists who shaped her enduring image. At the centre of the exhibition is Marilyn Triptych (1962) by James Francis Gill — a monumental and psychologically charged work created in the weeks following Monroe’s death. Presented as the largest piece in the exhibition, and shown alongside Allan Grant’s final photographs, the painting establishes a powerful dialogue between image and interpretation — between how Monroe was seen, and how she was understood.
From Tuesday 2nd June – Sunday 14th June, we invite you to experience a full exhibition of works by James Francis Gill at Castle Fine Art Covent Garden — just a short walk from the National Portrait Gallery.

The artist
James Francis Gill
When Pop Art exploded in the USA in the 1960s, the art world changed forever. At the forefront of the movement was James Francis Gill, a Texas-born architectural designer who would go on to count Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Indiana, and Andy Warhol amongst his peers. Famously, he stepped away from his celebrity in the early 1970s (although continued painting), but the Pop Art pioneer was rediscovered in the 1990s, and was warmly received by both galleries and private collectors.
