How to Marry a Millionaire is an original mixed media artwork by Gill Storr, celebrating the glamour, wit and unmistakable screen presence of Marilyn Monroe.
Marilyn's joyful portrait dominates the composition, surrounded by layers of vintage Hollywood imagery, typography, palm trees, expressive paint and cinematic references.
Turquoise and aqua meet vivid pink, crimson, purple and flashes of orange, while softer creams and whites illuminate Marilyn's face. The result is glamorous, playful and wonderfully uplifting, with all the colour and nostalgia of Hollywood's golden age.
Look Closer
The artwork takes its title from the classic 1953 film How to Marry a Millionaire, starring Marilyn Monroe alongside Betty Grable and Lauren Bacall.
The original movie typography stretches boldly across the bottom of the canvas, becoming an integral part of the composition rather than simply a background detail.
