Discount Marilyn
Nate Lowman's *Discount Marilyn* appropriates the iconic image of Marilyn Monroe, reducing her mythologized glamour to something mass-produced and disposable. The work plays with ideas of cultural currency and devaluation, suggesting that even the most celebrated symbols of fame and desire can be cheapened through endless reproduction. Lowman's title itself carries a sardonic wit, reframing one of art history's most fetishized subjects as a bargain-bin commodity.
