Kwisihlandlo sesibini, iqela labahlali basePalm Springs abanezithende ezintle balwela ukususa umfanekiso oqingqiweyo we-26-foot kaMarilyn Monroe ngumdwebi ongasekhoyo uSeward Johnson owafakwa kunyaka ophelileyo kwindawo kawonkewonke ecaleni kwePalm Springs Museum of Art,iPhephandaba lobuGcisaingxelo ngoMvulo.

Ngonaphakade kaMarilynubonisa uMonroe enxibe ilokhwe emhlophe yomfanekiso awayeyinxibile ngo-1955 romcomI-Seven Year Itchkwaye, njengakweyona mboniso bhanyabhanya ingalibalekiyo, ilokhwe 'umqukumbelo inyuselwe phezulu, ngokungathi umdlali weqonga uhleli emile phezu kwegrate kaloliwe yaseNew York City.

Abahlali bacatshukiswa yindalo “ecaphukisayo” yalo mfanekiso, ngokukodwa ilokhwe ephakanyisiweyo ebonisa izinto ezingenakuchazwa zikaMarilyn kwezinye ii-engile.

"Uphuma kwimyuziyam kwaye into yokuqala oyibonayo ... nguMarilyn Monroe oziimitha ezingama-26 ubude kunye nomva wakhe wonke kunye nempahla yangaphantsi eveziweyo," Umlawuli olawulayo wePalm Springs Museum of Art uLouis Grachos uthe kwintlanganiso yebhunga lesixeko ngo-2020. xa wayechasa ukufakwa.

Uqhanqalazo lwarhangqe ukufakwa ngo-2021 phakathi kweminxeba yokuba umsebenzi “ubugwenxa ngokwesithukuthezi,” “uphuma, ungeva kakuhle,” “ungeva kakuhle,” kunye “nenxamnye nayo nayiphi na into emele imyuziyam.”

Ngoku, isimangalo esichithiweyo esifakwe liqela lamatshantliziyo iCReMa (iKomiti yokuFudusa uMarilyn) ngokuchasene neSixeko sasePalm Springs livulwe kwakhona kule nyanga yiNkundla yeSithili yesi-4 yeSibheno yaseCalifornia, inika iqela elichasene noMarilyn, elibandakanya umyili wefashoni.
