Jenee Castellanos, associate curator of the Sculpture Foundation, which owns Forever Marilyn, said the sculpture, which was considered controversial for its exposed legs, fulfilled its purpose on the Magnificent Mile.
"It is a conversation-starter," Castellanos said. "Part of the reason why the artist creates work is for people to think about what they are seeing and what it means to them."
The statue will be moved to a new city for display, the Sculpture Foundation said.
