Norwegian Dawn to Display Andy Warhol's "Marilyn" Collection
Miami, FL
Norwegian Cruise Line's (NCL) Norwegian Dawn boasts the most expensive
art collection at sea featuring original works by the world's greatest
Impressionists masters as well as contemporary master, Andy Warhol.
Beginning mid-July, guests on Norwegian Dawn will enjoy a new series
of Warhol's - the "Marilyn" collection, which features the image of
one of America's most well known celebrities, Marilyn Monroe.
NCL will install 10 photo silk-screens of Warhol's "Marilyn," in the
landings of the midship staircase on the ship. Like the Impressionist
paintings by 20th Century masters Henri Matisse, Claude Monet,
Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Vincent van Gogh that adorn Norwegian Dawn's
signature Le Bistro restaurant, the "Marilyn" series is on loan from
the personal collection of Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay, chairman of NCL's
parent company, Star Cruises.
"We will continue to rotate pieces from our chairman's collection to
provide variety as well as an opportunity for more of our guests to
enjoy his vast array of artwork," said Colin Veitch, president and CEO
of NCL.
Among the pieces currently on display aboard Norwegian Dawn are images
from Warhol's "Flowers," "Sunsets" and "Mao" series. The art from
Warhol's "Marilyn" will replace Norwegian Dawn's "Mao" series,
acquired just prior to Norwegian Dawn's delivery. The "Mao" series
will move to Star Cruises' Asian markets, where it has yet to be
viewed.
Andy Warhol is widely considered a founder of the "Pop Art" movement
and began his Marilyn series in 1962 following the star's death in
August of the same year. The inspiration for his haunting image of
Monroe was a cropped publicity photo for the 1952 film "Niagara." The
"Marilyn" series is an example of Warhol's shift from oil painting to
photo silkscreen, a mechanical process associated with commercial
production. Art critics described the shift as a dismissal of the
personal expression that previously characterized contemporary
painting.
Miami-based Norwegian Cruise Line is an international cruise company
and industry innovator. NCL is the leader in round-trip seven-day
cruising from US and Canadian ports, offering its popular Homeland
Cruising program seasonally from Baltimore, Boston, Charleston, New

Please seek treatment. There are new drugs available.
And before you hit me with your OCD answer, I CHANGED MY MIND
For those who do not know medical jargon, OCD is "Obsessive Compulsive
Disease". My daughter suffers from it if you have ever seen her lock her
front door.
I have it if you have ever seen me checking where my keys are before I lock
the doors of my car.
Paul's OCD is the need to repeat the same post over and over lest any of us
may have missed it the first 225 times.

have guided tours where a guide would describe some of the pieces. I
wish the cruise lines would not cheapen the value of their own are
collections by hanging that commercial grade art auction stuff next
to it.
