Marilyn Monroe (Marilyn) is a screenprint in colors on wove paper, executed in 1967 by Andy Warhol — the defining figure of American Pop Art and one of the most celebrated and historically significant artists of the twentieth century — initialed in pencil on the reverse and stamp-numbered from the edition of 250, published by Factory Additions in New York.

The Marilyn series of 1967 stands as one of the most celebrated, historically resonant, and commercially significant bodies of work in Warhol's entire printed oeuvre — and among the most iconic images in the history of twentieth-century art. First conceived in the immediate aftermath of Marilyn Monroe's death in August 1962, Warhol's engagement with her image produced a series of works that transformed the most reproduced face in American popular culture into a vehicle for one of the most sustained and penetrating meditations on celebrity, mortality, desire, and the mechanisms of mass media ever realized in the visual arts. The 1967 portfolio — published by Factory Additions in a large-format edition of 250, with the characteristically bold and chromatically exuberant palette that has made these works instantly recognizable across more than half a century of art history — represents the fullest and most celebrated realization of Warhol's Marilyn project in the print medium.

At 914 × 895 mm — a near-square format of commanding physical presence — this impression delivers the full chromatic intensity, graphic authority, and cultural weight of Warhol's Marilyn vision at a scale that gives the work an almost confrontational physical impact. Published by Factory Additions — Warhol's own New York publishing entity, responsible for some of the most significant print editions of his career — the work carries the highest possible guarantee of authentic provenance and production authority. The initialing in pencil on the reverse and the stamp-numbering provide a fully documented and authenticated record of the work's place within the edition.
