Appropriating and remodelling images is one of Friedemann Hahn's trademarks. In this work, the title page of an illustrated magazine was painted over: The original portrait photo of Marylin Monroe readapted by the artist was taken by Carl Perutz (1921 - 1981) in 1958 in New York for The American Weekly, shortly before she was to start filming «Some Like It Hot» in Hollywood.
Provenance: purchased directly from the artist; since then private collection High Rhine.
