Additional Details: The poster "Prints to Date at Wetterling Gallery" features Hamilton's interpretation of Marilyn Monroe, based on famous media images of her, including photo shoots and film stills. In this case, the images appearing as negatives blown up for the poster were part of his experimental approach, where he played with different media, photographic techniques, and the concept of reproduction itself. Richard Hamilton, the British artist often associated with the Pop Art movement, did not have a personal relationship with Marilyn Monroe. However, he was fascinated by the ways in which mass media and celebrity culture shaped public perceptions of iconic figures like Monroe.
