The monumental body of work by the master photographer and the Hollywood actress marks a climax in the history of star photography, both in quantity and quality. It is a unique affirmation of the erotic dimension of photography and the eroticism of taking photos, and it is the world's finest and largest tribute to Marilyn Monroe. Bert Stern, the famous commercial and fashion photographer of the 60s, was the last to be granted a sitting by Marilyn Monroe six weeks before her tragic death. The three-day session yielded nearly 2,600 pictures-fashion, portrait, and nude studies-of indescribable sensual and human vibrancy, of which no more than 20 were published. And yet these few photographs ineradicably shaped our image of Marilyn Monroe.

Other starlets like Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor had the pleasure of gracing his lens as well. The question is, why Marilyn? Vogue ultimately decided to run the article using all of the same selections they had originally planned to use, with the addition of text explaining to readers their position. The photos exude a sultry, almost love-at-first-sight feeling. They didn’t know each other at this point, yet I feel like the photos embody a familiarity Marilyn might have felt with Bert. And the intimacy doesn’t end there. These, to me, are the most stunning, because it is clear Marilyn is at her most comfortable and uninhibited. What about the photos of Marilyn with the orange X over her face? What is that about?

Customer reviews

The year all of Bert’s dreams came true. He proposed shooting Marilyn for Vogue, and Vogue said yes. August 6, 1962: Vogue September issue was on press about to be printed when news broke of Monroe's death.

coherses her into taking all of her clothes off, then taking photos for his "private collection" when she accidentally drops one of the items covering her bottom half Die Vogue - Auftragsfotos im ersten Teil dieses Buches kann man getrost übergehen, da wird Couture der frühen 60er routiniert präsentiert, was aber in der Privatsession zwischen Stern und Monroe passierte, ist von ganz anderer Qualität und nur schwer in Worte zu fassen. With a line like that, there is no wonder he was able to pull the desire right out of Marilyn and onto the lens of his camera. Vogue published The Last Sitting series one day after Monroe’s death, giving the public an intimate portrait of the star in the wake of tragedy. Though the magazine usually includes a list of designers in its shoots, editors chose to eschew its focus on the clothing and eliminated fashion credits, instead featuring only the photos as homage to the star. The shoot captured the nation’s imagination and has since inspired countless spreads, including a 2008 cover shoot featuring Lindsay Lohan in New York Magazine, photographed by Stern himself.

is at the time of his writing aware that for all intents and purposes, Marilyn committed suicide shortly after seeing the finished photos, of which she brutually vetoed more than half, and yet feels zero shame over the fact that even then he goes on to publish those photos (destructions marks and all) Marilyn Monroe was born Norma Jean, on June 1 in Los Angeles, California. She had just turned 36 at the time of the photo shoot. The legendary photographs of Marilyn Monroe from Bert Stern’s “The Last Sitting” are the subject of this exhibition at Staley-Wise Gallery. The last time Marilyn would pose for a studio shoot in front of a camera. Six weeks later, the actress was found dead in her home. Even despite the ominous facts surrounding this sitting, the images it produced project a haunting, almost dreamlike quality unlike any photographs ever taken of the starlet. Side note: Did you know we named our Marilyn accordion-pleated skirt after Marilyn to pay homage to her infamous accordion-pleated dress that she wore in The Seven Year Itch? So, who is Bert Stern and what is The Last Sitting?
