Gold Marilyn Monroe is a 1962 painting by Andy Warhol. Executed in silkscreen ink on synthetic polymer paint on canvas, the large painting depicts the famous actress Marilyn Monroe, who committed suicide earlier that year.
The image of Monroe comes from a publicly still for her 1953 movie Niagara.[1]
