Marilyn Invitation 12″ X 12″ (Castelli Graphics) is a miniature version of Andy Warhol’s Marilyn (FS II.30) and was created as an announcement for the exhibition Andy Warhol: A Print Retrospective 1963-1981 on display from November 21 to December 22, 1981 at Castelli Gallery in New York. Along with his pop art images of Brillo boxes and Campbell’s soup cans, Warhol created celebrity portraits of famous icons. Most recognizable portraits include Marilyn Monroe and Jane Fonda. Originally printed in the early 1960s, Marilyn became the quintessential icon in the Pop Art Movement and for Warhol.
