Auction History Result 5z109 MARILYN MONROE 24x36 commercial '90s great postage stamp portrait artwork by Michael J. Deas! Date Sold 4/13/2017 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A Commercial Poster (measures 24" x 36" [61 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) Marilyn Monroe is one of the greatest larger-than-life movie stars ever of the 1950s, and surely the greatest sex symbol of all time! She appeared in several memorable movies including: Some Like It Hot, The Prince & the Showgirl, All About Eve, The Asphalt Jungle, The Misfits, The Seven Year Itch, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Monkey Business, and Niagara. The last film that she worked on was Something's Got To Give in 1962. 20th Century Fox blamed Marilyn for the production being behind schedule, and fired her in June (the film was never completed). In August, she was found dead in her home from an apparent drug overdose, and her death was ruled a suicide (though there are theories that foul play was involved, and even in 2024, many people do not feel it was an "accidental" death). Artist: Michael J. Deas Important Added Info: Years ago, some collector had this poster mounted onto foamcore. While most collectors do not like this, I have seen many posters that have been mounted on foamcore for years, and it never has any ill effects on the poster, so I am not sure why there is a bias against it
UPDATED 04/07/2017: Note that a knowledgeable collector tells us that the artwork on this poster was created in 1994 by Michael J. Deas (perhaps inspired by Monroe from "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes") for the United States Postal Service. The USPS issued a stamp with this art in 1995, along with official posters featuring a USPS copyright. Note that this poster does not feature the USPS copyright and may be a commercial poster. Note that this item needs to be shipped in an oversized flat package. Some of these items can ONLY be sent in flat packages, and could not possibly be rolled into a tube. On some of them (for example f it is a size that might ordinarily be rolled in a tube, like a half-sheet), the reason it is in this auction is specifically because we feel it either CAN'T be rolled or because we feel it would be a mistake to roll it, because it might well damage the item. In the case of the few items that could be rolled, we will roll the item in a tube if the new owner insists, but only if they accept that they can't return the item if it is damaged from being rolled. So please bear in mind that this item must be sent in a LARGE flat package (the size of the package will depend on the size of the item), and bear this added expense in mind before placing a bid on it. Condition: good to very good. The poster is mounted on to foamcore. There are some scuff marks at upper right and there are indentations at lower left. Learn More about condition grades
