Marilyn Monroe Hits the Waves (Photo By Gail)
Marilyn Monroe may be best remembered as a Hollywood icon, but here’s a version of the blonde bombshell with a decidedly sporty twist. This eye-catching Pink Surfboard features a pop-art portrait of Marilyn in the unmistakable style of Andy Warhol, complete with bold blocks of color, dramatic black accents, and a generous dose of hot pink. The Marilyn Monroe Surfboard belongs to the MARILYN 100 series by British‑American artist Russell Young.
The elongated surfboard provides an unusual canvas for the familiar celebrity image, with Marilyn’s face stretching almost the entire length of the board. Warhol’s signature appears near the bottom, adding another pop-culture touch to this fun piece of surf-inspired art. Whether you’re a fan of Marilyn, Warhol, surfing, or simply fabulous pink objects, this is one board that deserves to be displayed rather than tucked away in a beach house garage. I’m not sure how many waves it will ride, but it certainly makes a splash as a work of art!
