In 1995, the Fondazione Antonio Mazzotta in Milan hosted an exhibition featuring Andy Warhol’s iconic works, including his renowned “Marilyn Diptych” from 1962. To promote this event, the foundation produced a limited-edition offset lithograph poster showcasing the “Marilyn Diptych.” This poster measures approximately 70 x 100 cm (27.5 x 39.3 inches) and was printed on fine, smooth paper.

The “Marilyn Diptych” itself is a seminal piece in Warhol’s oeuvre, featuring 50 images of Marilyn Monroe based on a publicity still from her 1953 film “Niagara.” This work exemplifies Warhol’s fascination with celebrity culture and mass production, themes central to the Pop Art movement.

Original posters from this 1995 exhibition have become rare collector’s items, reflecting both Warhol’s enduring influence and the historical significance of the Milan exhibition. These posters occasionally surface in art markets and auctions, often commanding significant value due to their limited availability and connection to Warhol’s legacy.
