Becoming Jewish: Warhol’s Liz and Marilyn

Jewish Museum, New York

NOW CLOSED

The public personas of Elizabeth Taylor and Marilyn Monroe were constructed, but when they converted to Judaism, the change for both women was personal and profound. ‘Becoming Jewish: Warhol’s Liz and Marilyn’ draws parallels between the actresses’ identities as Jewish women and Warhol’s exploration of their celebrity through his image-making.
