About This Lot
Russell Young presents the blonde starlet, Marilyn Monroe, against a sea of American G.I.s in Marilyn in Korea. Known for his portraits of the rich and famous, Young began his career as a celebrity photographer, which later inspired him to reimagine these images in new and intriguing ways. Young's painting style was influenced by Andy Warhol's application of saturated color and screen-printed images. Young's interpretation of Monroe's 1954 visit to Korea is rendered here in vivid red.
