Wallpaper Marilyn was conceived by Philippe Parreno on occasion of his major solo exhibition at the Gropius Bau in Berlin. The wallpaper depicts irises, printed with phosphorescent ink on paper. The pattern was previously seen as a background element in the set of the artist’s 2012 film Marilyn, which conjures up the presence of Marilyn Monroe in the set of a suite at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York, where the actress lived in the 1950s.
