Color Lithograph on BFK Rives wove paper. Signed, Dated, Titled. Marilyn (1974) by James Rosenquist is a color lithograph on BFK Rives wove paper, measuring 41.75 x 29.625 inches, from an edition of 75. In this striking Pop Art work, Rosenquist deconstructs the iconography of Marilyn Monroe using fragmented imagery and overlapping text. Bold colors—red, yellow, black, and lavender—intermingle with cropped details of Monroe’s face: parted lips, closed eyes, and makeup become abstracted and layered forms. The composition juxtaposes glamour and commercial typography, commenting on fame, beauty, and the commodification of celebrity. Signed, dated, and titled along the bottom, Marilyn exemplifies Rosenquist’s signature blend of advertising aesthetics and cultural critique.

What is appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
