The statue is a representation of one of the most famous images of Monroe, taken from Billy Wilder's film The Seven Year Itch. Created in 2011, the statue has been displayed in a variety of locations in the United States, as well as in Australia. Design and locationsThe {{convert|26|ft|m|adj=mid|-tall}} {{convert|34000|lb|kg|adj=on}} sculpture, manufactured of painted stainless steel and aluminium,[1] is a super-sized tribute to Marilyn Monroe's iconic scene from Billy Wilder's 1955 infidelity comedy, The Seven-Year Itch, with the figure capturing the instant a blast of air from a NYC subway grate raises her white dress.[2] The statue was displayed at Pioneer Court part of the Magnificent Mile section of Chicago, Illinois, before it was moved to the corner of Palm Canyon Drive and Tahquitz Canyon Way in Palm Springs, California, in 2012.[3] It was given a farewell sendoff during the Palm Springs Village Fest on March 27, 2014,[4] and was then relocated to the 42-acre Grounds for Sculpture (GFS) in Hamilton, New Jersey as part of a 2014 retrospective honoring Seward Johnson.[1][5] Due to its popularity, the statue remained on display at the GFS until September 2015, after the official end of the retrospective.[6] The statue was then displayed in 2016 in Rosalind Park in the Australian city of Bendigo in connection with the Bendigo Art Gallery's Marilyn Monroe exhibition.[7] In 2018, the statue was displayed at Latham Park in Stamford, Connecticut as part of a large public art exhibition honoring the works of Seward Johnson. Thirty-six sculptures were placed throughout streets and parks in Downtown Stamford, with Forever Marilyn being the highlight of the exhibit. [8] The statue sparked international controversy when it was placed in Stamford with complaints arising due to her appearing to flash her underwear at the First Congressional Church.[9][10][11][12][13] ReceptionIn August and September 2011 the statue was vandalized three times, most recently being splashed with red paint. In the unsubstantiated opinion of the executive director of the Chicago Public Arts Group, this was because the statue is "laden with political meaning, and provocative meaning and sexual meaning".[14] The public, however, was often enthusiastic to view the statue: "Forever Marilyn journeyed back to Hamilton in April 2014, arriving at the Grounds for Sculpture on a truck as two dozen people cheered and took pictures. During the cross-country journey, people snapped photos of the sculpture in parking lots and along highways and posted them on social media."[6] At least one full size counterfeit is known to have been created and displayed, as a discarded sculpture was photographed in a dump after being displayed outside a business center in Guigang, China.[15] References1. ^1 {{cite web|title=The Retrospective Site Map (See: Icons Revisited Series)|url=http://www.groundsforsculpture.org/userAssets/file/sj-retrospective-map.pdf|website=Groundsforsculpture.org|publisher=Grounds for Sculpture|accessdate=9 October 2016}} 2. ^{{cite web|title=The Seven Year Itch (Trivia)|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0048605/trivia|website=IMDB.com|accessdate=29 August 2016}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Forever Marilyn: Palm Springs sets goodbye party|url=http://www.desertsun.com/story/news/2014/03/27/forever-marilyn-palm-springs-goodbye-party/6965295|website=The Desert Sun|accessdate=29 August 2016}} 4. ^{{cite journal|title=Business News: Forever Marilyn to Stay in Palm Springs until Mid-November|journal=The Public Record|date=July 30, 2013|volume=37|issue=32|pages=3|issn=0744-205X|oclc=8101482}} 5. ^{{cite web|title=Seward Johnson: The Retrospective |url=http://www.groundsforsculpture.org/Exhibitions/Seward-Johnson-The-Retrospective |website=web.archive.org |accessdate=9 October 2016 |deadurl=bot: unknown |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20141005012348/http://www.groundsforsculpture.org/Exhibitions/Seward-Johnson-The-Retrospective |archivedate=5 October 2014 |df= }} 6. ^1 {{cite web|title=Goodbye Norma Jean: 'Forever Marilyn' sculpture comes down|url=http://www.nj.com/mercer/index.ssf/2015/09/goodbye_norma_jean_-_forever_marilyn_is_de-install.html|website=NJ.com|accessdate=22 August 2016}} 7. ^"American crew assemble Marilyn sculpture that gallery director Karen Quinlan says will be a conversation-starter", Bendigo Advertiser, February 2, 2016. 8. ^{{Cite web|url=http://stamford-downtown.com/events/timeless-the-works-of-seward-johnson/#.Ws4boC7wYdV|title=Timeless-The Works of Seward Johnson {{!}} Stamford Downtown - This is the place!|website=stamford-downtown.com|language=en-US|access-date=2018-04-11}} 9. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/6488142/marilyn-monroe-statue-upskirt-connecticut-stamford-park/|title=Marilyn Monroe statue sparks unholy row because her bottom 'points at church'|date=2018-06-09|work=The Sun|access-date=2018-07-30|language=en-GB}} 10. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/church-giant-marilyn-monroe-statue_us_5b1ec451e4b09d7a3d75bb1b|title=Church Is Taking Appearance Of Gigantic Marilyn Monroe Statue In Stride|last=Kuruvilla|first=Carol|date=2018-06-11|work=Huffington Post|access-date=2018-07-30|language=en-US}} 11. ^{{Cite news|url=https://nypost.com/2018/06/08/statue-of-marilyn-monroe-famously-exposing-her-rear-upsets-nearby-church/|title=Statue of Marilyn Monroe famously exposing her rear displayed near church|date=2018-06-08|work=New York Post|access-date=2018-07-30|language=en-US}} 12. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.newser.com/story/260420/cheeky-artwork-marilyn-statue-outside-church-leaves-some-upset.html|title=Marilyn Monroe Statue Outside Church Gets Tongues Wagging|last=Cromley|first=Janet|date=2018-06-09|work=Newser|access-date=2018-07-30|language=en-US}} 13. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.heraldscotland.com/life_style/16279566.The_day_in_pictures___15_photographs_that_made_today_s_news/#gallery0|title=The day in pictures : 15 photographs that made today's news|website=HeraldScotland|language=en|access-date=2018-07-30}} 14. ^Reese, Ronnie.
