"Pink Marilyn" to be Presented

An auction house "NEW AUCTION" will hold the 6th auction "NEW 006" on April 27, 2004 at an art gallery SAI in Tokyo. In this auction,  the notable artwork from Andy Warhol's iconic Marilyn Monroe series, "Pink Marilyn," will be presented. This highly valuable piece is rarely auctioned world-wide, making it an exceptional and precious artwork. Created in 1967, five years after Marilyn Monroe's death, this series is emblematic of American Pop Art, challenging people's perceptions through the use of the screenprint technique, repeating continuity and variation.

Additionally, the auction will feature works that transcend time and nationality, connecting the lineage of art. Notable pieces include Yokoo Tadanori's Portrait of Mr. Haizuka Teruzo, created shortly after his declaration as a painter in 1980, Murakami Takashi's large painting Blue Skull, evoking thoughts of life and death, and Takeda Teppei's Painting of Painting, showcasing expressions that can only be fully appreciated when confronting the actual artwork, including the texture of paint and traces of strokes.
