A passerby photographs one of the dismantled pieces of 'Forever Marilyn', a sculpture by Seward Johnson, as it is prepared for removal from Pioneer Court May 8, 2012 in Chicago, Illinois. The stainless steel and aluminum sculpture, which stands 26 feet tall and weighs 34,000 pounds, was inspired by Marilyn Monroe’s iconic scene in the 1955 movie 'The Seven Year Itch'. The sculpture, which has been on display in Chicago since last July, will next be displayed in Palm Springs, California. (Getty Images)
