Step into the dazzling world of Andy Warhol and Marilyn Monroe with our specialists, Jess Bromovsky and Louisa Earl — one final photograph, a burst of pop art, and the birth of a cultural phenomenon. In this recording, we unpack how Warhol’s Marilyn went from a 1950s publicity still to the single most powerful image in the 20th-century art market. We explore: 🎬 How a single still from Marilyn’s 1953 film Niagara became the source for a series of iconic silkscreens. 🎨 Why Warhol’s use of bold colourways, repetition and screen-printing transformed a celebrity portrait into a symbol — not just of fame, but of mass media, identity and myth. 📈 How the 1967 Marilyn portfolio established a template for modern limited-edition prints — and how, over decades, the “Marilyn effect” turned prints into high-stakes investments. 🔎 The darker side: how fame, tragedy and reproduction stripped context — turning Marilyn’s final image into something iconic and frozen in time. 🌍 Why, even today, across generations and continents, the Warhol–Marilyn pairing remains instantly recognisable and endlessly seductive. Whether you’re a pop-art aficionado, a fan of Monroe, or simply curious how a single photograph reshaped the art market, this video shows why “Marilyn” became more than an image.  

For nearly two decades, the Banksy market has been defined by a handful of instantly recognisable images. But in 2025, we’re seeing something different: a quieter, more rational, more selective market, one where overlooked editions, disciplined buyers, and a global collector base are reshaping the landscape. Today we’re breaking down where the real value sits now: not only in the icons, but in the editions hiding in plain sight, and in the structural shifts that are defining Banksy’s market in 2025. I am joined by Joe Syer, our founder, who has spent his entire career trading Banksy's prints and uniques and, as such, has seen this market and its nuances evolve over the last 15 years, and Jasper Tordoff, our Banksy & Modern British Specialist.   See our Banksy 2025 Report.   See our latest market reports: www.myartbroker.com/market-reports
