Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend

Size:35 x 27 in.

In ‘Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend’, Mr. Kuu offers a playful homage to the iconic scene from ‘Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,’ where Marilyn Monroe sings one of the all-time-great musical numbers that stunning pink gown; in this case however, she stands not on a grand staircase, but perched on the edge of a giant diamond. Using his trademark macro photography and miniature figures, Mr. Kuu surrounds Marilyn with miniature admirers while down below them, a team of cleaners and workmen are busy mining, refining and polishing the diamonds of the title. This engaging piece pays tribute to a classic movie moment with wit, skill, and nostalgic charm. ‘Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend’ has been released as a framed limited edition of 195 copies, measuring 24x16".
