The allure of Marilyn Monroe
If there’s one face that seems to stand the test of time, never fading or losing its magic, it is that of the Hollywood actress Marilyn Monroe. Long after Andy Warhol iconised her in his 1962 silkscreen paintings, her visage appears in contemporary art collections around the world – including our own!
James Francis Gill
As one of the last living Pop Art pioneers, James Francis Gill expertly captures the American Dream with world renowned actress Marilyn Monroe in his collection, The Return Of James Francis Gill. Merging iconography with startling colour, he is inspired by magazines like Time, Life and National Geographic.
Simon Claridge
In 2014, diamond dust artist Simon collaborated with Twentieth Century Fox for Fox Presents the Films of Marilyn: a reinvented series of some of the most iconic images of the star from her time with the film studio. Included are photography stills, test shots and outtakes from Fox’s coveted archives.
Simon says: “This is the closest I will ever be able to get to painting Marilyn for real. And that is an absolute highlight of my career.”
Edward Weston
Edward's collection reaches beyond the camera lens and into the very essence of the 20th century's most enigmatic film icon. A pioneer in the collection of Hollywood photography, Edward built his extensive collection over five decades.
The actress’s career is captured in snapshots that range from her early days in 1948 to her final photo shoot in 1962, with the body of work featuring such trusted artists as Laszlo Willinger, Andre de Dienes, Kashio Aoki and George Barris.
