Marilyn Monroe’s face, her jewellery infused with real diamond dust stares out as the viewer with an expression as blank and uncommunicative as the black square below her, making this a beguiling image. The print is based on a 1990 original (photographs and enamel paint on wood), which was part of a series in homage to Monroe. From a signed edition of 175.Provenance
