So, I presume the appeal of her art is how limited it's existence is. Regardless of how high or low effort it took, it's eventual destruction leaves behind only a smashed corpse and the memories of it's magnificence only to those who saw it in it's prime. It represents the fragility of life, and, however it may have been, it's all going to go away, leaving only a corpse and what it meant to those who percieved it. That's my take on it, at least.
I think you’re right, however, the more notable part of it is signifies by the ending subtitles (at least, from my interpretation). That part is a dig on postmodernism. The whole thing talks about the human condition, but there’s a level of absurdity in the artist man’s ingenuine portrayal of Marylin’s experience. Check out Amiri Baraka’s “Against Bouegouis Art”. It talks about the same thing from a more political standpoint.
*is signified* Also I forgot to mention, I think the entirety of this video follows postmodernism’s evolution, which started off as a very significant way of looking at human life then was sort of capitalized off of and ended with a bunch of CIA funded, anti-communist, money-making “artistic” events such as the one portrayed at the end of this film.
