Construction is underway on a 26-foot sculpture based on Marilyn Monroe's iconic subway grate pose in the Seven-Year Itch. The sculpture, by New Jersey artist Seward Johnson, will be completed Friday night. Regular Chicagoist Photos Flickr pool contributor Jonathan Lurie shared these shots of the construction of Marilyn's bottom half.
