Andy Warhol - Marilyn Diptych, 1962
"Like the bubbles of pink prosecco, the face of Marilyn Monroe on the left of this silkscreen explodes on the tongue, fruity and effervescent. Maybe a sugar cube in the prosecco has given it too sweet a flavour because there is something cloying about it but at the same time its flavour is sharp and tangy. On the right, the images have a dense flavour, like the scrapings from a roasting pan or burnt butter. At first they seem bitter and charred but then the rich caramelised flavour comes through and you want to go back for another taste.”
