A new, more mature Marilyn had emerged and with a halo of light around her each photograph explores the moods and intimacy of a woman loved by the world still unforgettable nearly 50 years later. She is visibly checked out in a lot of them, which just makes it impossible to ignore what was going on. Bert Stern, the famous ad and fashion photographer of the sixties, was the last to be granted a sitting by Marilyn Monroe - six weeks before her tragic death.

In einer dreitägigen Session, die für die amerikanische Vogue arrangiert worden war und im Juni 1962 im Bel-Air Hotel in Los Angeles stattfand, entstanden fast 2700 Mode-, Portrait- und Aktaufnahmen, von denen damals kaum mehr als 20 veröffentlicht wurden. The book included many of the over 2,500 images that Stern had shot, including contact sheets with images Monroe had disliked and crossed out.

Near Fine++ oversize hardback in a Near Fine+ dust jacket, now protected in a homemade Brodart-style transparent plastic sleeve. From the glamorous, sophisticated photos which Vogue would publish in a black-and-white "memorial" spread, to the less restrained color shots which Stern coaxed out of Marilyn during an intense, exhausting session, this collection covers nearly every aspect of modern photography: portraiture, fashion-driven, erotic, and artistic. The photos are featured alongside DS car models, including a rare, bright-red DS 21 Cabriolet from 1966. Amazing photos of an artist on the verge of a break through who unfortunately did not get the chance to level-up even further. With a photo shoot that took place in 1962 just weeks before the actress’ death, Stern later compiled his image into the photobook Marilyn Monroe: The Complete Last Sitting, first published in 1982.It was like a bomb had gone off, bottles of champagne all over, Marilyn’s shoes in the corner, an overturned champagne bottle.

This is an odd book because Bert Stern comes off as an "I coulda fucked her, but I didn't" sort of guy.

I also have lots of contempt for Stern for having published the photographs that Marilyn didn't approve of and had marked up. Choosing vintage and antique furniture reduces your carbon footprint by cutting down on waste and reduces demand for new materials and extends the life of the products we use.Top-Star unter den amerikanischen Mode- und Werbephotographen der 60er Jahre, war der letzte, dem Marilyn, sechs Wochen vor ihrem Tod, einen Phototermin bewilligte.
