Shot Marilyns by Andy Warhol (1963)

Perhaps Warhol's most famous works are the screen prints of Marilyn Munroe, he produced these from a publicity photo of her 1953 film Niagara. A series of different coloured prints were stacked against a studio wall and shot with a pistol by performance artist Dorothy Podber. This created a stir in the art world which still reverberates around the auction houses today. 

I chose to base my ‘Warhols’ on the then New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, whom I had been fortunate to meet and photograph in 2017. At the time I made this, she was very popular, but with the effects of a global financial downturn and Covid-19 fatigue her popularity waned.
