Honouring the one and only Marilyn Monroe  at her finest in golden times!

Born Norma Jeane Mortenson; June 1, 1926 – August 5, 1962 she was an American actress, model, and singer. Famous for playing comic "blonde bombshell" characters, she became one of the most popular sex symbols of the 1950s and was emblematic of the era's attitudes towards sexuality. Although she was a top-billed actress for only a decade, her films grossed $200 million by the time of her unexpected death in 1962 (equivalent to $2 billion in 2017).[1] More than half a century later, she continues to be a major popular culture icon honoured in The Disruptives collection.

A cheeky nod to Andy Warhol keeping the Pop Art icon alive with this limited edition of 50 Pop Art Disruptive print. Signed by the Artist Jim Wheat with his picture duplicated across four squares, each one washed with a neon colour in the style of Pop Art portraiture, and subtly emblazoned with the dollar sign. Focusing the trope of money through people, places, and occasions,

Dollarsandart's celebrity prints comment on the tense relationship between fame and finance in contemporary culture.
