On Feb. 23, California’s 4th District Court of Appeals overturned a motion to dismiss a lawsuit by the Committee to Relocate Marilyn (Crema), which is battling to remove Seward Johnson’s 2011 sculpture “Forever Marilyn” from its current site outside the Palm Springs Art Museum.
Standing 25 feet tall, “Forever Marilyn” shows the blond bombshell in a famous scene from the 1955 comedy “The Seven-Year Itch” in which her white dress is blown up by a subway grate, revealing her backside.
Originally displayed in Chicago, the work was purchased for $1 million by the tourism agency PS Resorts in 2020. Later that year, the city council unanimously voted to place it outside the Palm Springs Art Museum for up to three years.

There was one person who could legitimately complain about this, but Joe DiMaggio is gone.
