Where is Andy Warhol's Marilyn Monroe painting now and how much did it sell for?

I have approx. 20 paintings of Marilyn Monroe in my collection, mostly oil paintings. I have one watercolor painting. The oil paintings cost between $35.00 to $99.00 each and are all high quality. They are all very good likenesses of Marilyn, and each painting in my collection presents a different Marilyn than the others. With paintings, the saying "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" is very much true!

You can find them on eBay if you search diligently for a painting that offers a good likeness of Marilyn and that pleases you. There are hundreds of really crappy, ugly paintings on eBay that look nothing at all like Marilyn Monroe. Hold out until you see one you really like, and then grab it before it's gone!

A few words of advice: It is better to search and find a painting you like and buy it already painted, than to commission a painting by an artist. If you see what you want and it's already painted, buy it fast! If you submit a photograph to a painter to paint a portrait for you, you may be very displeased with the results of the final painting.

How does silkscreen work?

Today, most silk screens are made of special polymer fabrics. The fabric is stretched tightly on a wooden frame. There are a couple of ways that the fabric is then prepared for screening. You paint the fabric with varnish in the places that you do not want paint to go through. Or you can obtain special two layer paper that is plastic on one side and paper on the other. You cut the plastic away in the places you want the paint to go through. Then a solvent is used to melt the plastic into the material and peel away the paper. Multiple colors require a different screen for each color. Registration to keep things lined up is the tough part on those.
