Echoing the legendary subway scene in The Seven Year Itch, the artist represented in minute detail a sculpture of Marilyn, her clothes and her hairstyle. The work was exhibited in various unexpected places, including the Museum of Sex in Amsterdam and the Grevin Museum in Paris. Listings wanted by Art Brokerage.
