About The Work
Perhaps the greatest modern purveyor of art-based iconography, the highly-stylized silkscreen images of Andy Warhol have become internationally recognized for their graphic charm, vibrant color and cultural reference. A fresh, Pop twist on the art-historical tradition of still life and portrait painting, these images evince Warhol’s deliberate use of shadow and negative as a central compositional element. In this limited edition collaboration between Tim Bessell and the Warhol Foundation, Marilyn, arguably the most iconic of Warhol’s prints, is featured in bold primary colors on one of Bessell’s custom, hand-shaped surfboards. Warhol was known for his attraction to all things fame, and the tragic celebrity of Marilyn Monroe in particular.
