Description
Our tribute to one of Australia’s most famous sons, Ned Kelly, is also a tribute to the brilliance of artist Andy Warhol, a key figure in Pop Art. This movement emerged in America and elsewhere in the 1950s and became prominent over the next two decades. In the 1960s, Andy Warhol created several ‘mass-produced’ images from photographs of celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe. Warhol was fascinated with morbid concepts. Sometimes, however, the results are astonishingly beautiful, such as the resonating, brilliantly coloured images of Marilyn. On the occasion of Marilyn Monroe’s suicide in August 1962, Warhol used this image for his screenprinting. It was a publicity shot by Gene Korman for the film Niagara, made in 1953. Ned’s image is based on a photograph he sat at the Old Melbourne Gaol on November 10, 1880 – the day before his execution.
