The gallery wishes to bring together the works of its great Pop Art signatures in order to offer a range of perspectives on the enigmatic and controversial legend.

The exhibition aims to illustrate the incredible persistence of the myth.
Brought to the rank of icon notably by Andy Warhol, Marilyn is still today an essential figure of American cultural identity, her image imbued with modernity, remains present in the collective conscience and this, more than fifty years after her disappearance.

It is in particular with its flagship contemporary artist Russell Young, that the gallery wishes to emphasize the attractive and glamorous power of the icon by presenting his latest work: portraits of the Star in bright colors, on canvas and on paper strewn with diamond dust.
