Ozone Productions, 2012
This is the Marilyn Monroe stunning red No. 5 Limited Edition Giclee Print by noted pinup artist Olivia De Berardinis from the Marilyn Monroe Icon Series. The print has a gorgeous embossed Marilyn logo on the lower left side and is Hand Signed and Numbered 16/250 on the bottom right. This one also comes with a full COA signed by De Berardinis. Through creative vision and original inspiration, Alternative Art in the form of Limited Edition Screen and Giclee Prints has vastly become a big part of the movie poster collecting industry amongst artists, fans, and galleries. With some starting as early as the 2000s, companies like Mondo, Spoke Art Gallery, Bottleneck Galleries, Vice Press, Mad Duck Posters, Skuzzles, and more have procured some of the most talented artists in the world to create lush and loving fan-desired art that was never available before. What began as a very small alternative for those seeking something unique from their favorite film has turned into a major industry where the best posters can sell out in a matter of minutes. Renowned names like Drew Struzan, Roger Kastel, Laurent Durieux, Tyler Stout, Olly Moss, Ken Taylor, Killian Eng, Mark "Jock" Simpson, Steve Chorney and so many others have shown there is indeed demand for amazing art that is sometimes as good as or even better than the original posters from a film.
The print is in mint condition showing no signs of being used or displayed. It shows only the most minimal signs of handling.
The legendary actress became the sex symbol of the '50s and early '60s via her unforgettable performances in such hits as Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953), The Seven Year Itch (1955) and Some Like It Hot (1959). But her beauty was matched by her aptitude for comedy, as all these films prove.
Estimate: $300 - 600
