Description
Here is a color image of this fantastic, large-scale sculpture by Seward Johnson. This was taken at Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton, NJ.
The 26-foot-tall (7.9 m) 34,000-pound (15,000 kg) Seward Johnson sculpture, Forever Marilyn, is manufactured of painted stainless steel and aluminum. It is a super-sized sculptural tribute to Marilyn Monroe's iconic scene from Billy Wilder's 1955 infidelity comedy, The Seven-Year Itch, with the figure imitating the instant that a blast of air from a subway vent raises her dress. Inaugurated in July 2011, the statue stood at Pioneer Court in Chicago, Illinois, before it was moved to Palm Springs, California in 2012. The statue was given a farewell sendoff during Palm Springs Village Fest on March 27, 2014, to be displayed at an exhibition honoring Seward in New Jersey.
