Product description

Here is an exciting and alluring vintage rug – a mid-twentieth century production featuring a composition designed by the inimitable Andy Warhol. A Swedish rug, this exceptional Andy Warhol Marilyn Monroe rug beautifully showcases Warhol’s distinct style. Easily one of the most influential artists of the second half of the twentieth century, there is little that hasn’t been said of Warhol. A household name in his own lifetime, Warhol was largely responsible for elevating icons and images of popular culture into the world of “high art.” One of Warhol’s favorite subjects was Marilyn Monroe. Andy Warhol Marilyn once famously remarked about Monroe, that he simply painted ‘things that he liked’ – a subject he painted over and over again, in a myriad of styles. This particular composition features a pink-skinned, yellow-haired Marilyn set against a baby blue background. The pastel of the pallet reinforces Warhol’s treatment of the subject, the proportions and line work of which are evocative of 1970’s psychedelic art. This subtle reintroduction of a pop culture icon from one time to another is emblematic of Warhol’s greatest strengths as an artist and social commentator.
