A tapestry of Marilyn Monroe by Andy Warhol is on display to the public for the first time in the UK as part of "Love Is Enough," an exhibition exploring the similarities between William Morris and Andy Warhol curated by Turner Prize-winning artist Jeremy Deller; at Modern Art Oxford from December 6th until 8th March 2015.

The work was presented by Charles Slatkin Galleries in 1968 as part of the "American Tapestries" exhibition, in which the gallery invited a group of contemporary artists to submit designs for tapestries. Warhol gave this Marilyn design, which was hand woven into a woolen tapestry for the exhibition.

Works by two world-famous artists will go on display in Birmingham next year.

A selection of rarely seen artworks by Andy Warhol and William Morris, who both pioneered a style of art that helped define the centuries in which they lived, will be coming to Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery between April and June 2015.

‘Love is Enough’ will bring together works from public and private collections across the UK and USA to show in Birmingham after exhibiting at Modern Art Oxford in December.
