About The Artwork
'Gold Sophia' Andy Warhol made his iconic artwork of Marilyn Monroe (Gold Marilyn) shortly after she died, adapting a publicity shot from one of her films. In doing so, Warhol elevated Marilyn Monroe to the status of super-icon. Now in 2019, the AI robot, Sophia, has become an icon as well. Sophia has appeared on the cover of Elle Brasil and Cosmopolitan magazines. Sophia has been introduced to the United Nations with a conversation with the United Nations Deputy Secretary-General, Amina J. Mohammed. On October 25, 2017, at the Future Investment Summit in Riyadh, Sophia was granted Saudi Arabian citizenship, becoming the first robot ever to have a nationality. In November 2017, Sophia was named the United Nations Development Programme's first ever Innovation Champion, and is the first non-human to be given any United Nations title. Sophia has appeared on CBS 60 Minutes, Good Morning Britain, and outlets like CNBC, Forbes, Mashable, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Guardian, and the Tonight Show. Sophia was featured in AUDI's annual report. Sophia has also appeared in videos and music videos, including The White King, and as the lead female character in pop singer Leehom Wang’s music video A. Sophia is an icon, perhaps even a super-icon. Artist John Michael has created a significant painting/collage with 'Gold Marilyn' in mind. Available on stretched canvas. 36x48 inches. With layers of newsprint, photos, and a variety of gold paint. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Warhol's 'Gold Marilyn' was a look to the past.
