This screenprint was created in the late 1970s at approximately the same time as the artist's painted Reversal series.
'Warhol’s Reversals recapitulate his portraits of famous faces but with the tonal values reversed. As if the spectator was looking at photographic negatives, highlighted faces have gone dark while former shadows now rush forward. The reversed Marilyns, especially, have a lurid otherworldly glow, as if illuminated by internal footlights’
(David Bourdon in Warhol, New York, 1989, p. 378.)
