MARILYN: Artist as Icon, is an intriguing look at an iconic name inspiring revisionist glitterati blondes and a continual redigestion of the Marilyn personality. The artist/educator/activist, born Marilyn Zimmerman, has been re-envisioned, recorded, and re-assigned various roles and held projections including admirers as well as toxic projections from within the culture wars.This exhibit presents the life of a unique individual revealed through images made during her career over a period spanning 30 years. Zimmerman represents many things to many different people and these impressions are eloquently revealed through the diverse images of Marilyn made by numerous artists and photographers; images as eclectic as Marilyn herself.
