Bert Stern: Marilyn Monroe: The Complete Last Sitting

Product Information

The fact that Bert Stern got Marilyn drunk and that she looks buzzed in a lot of these pictures, really takes away from what this could have been. 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. 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. 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 seinem Vorwort erzählt Bert Stern vom Zustandekommen und Verlauf dieses ungewöhnlichen Phototermins. But more than a comprehensive display of Stern's immeasurable talents, these photographs combine to create an homage to America's first goddess.

In front of the camera, Marilyn was known to possess an incredible chameleon-like ability to transform herself into whatever role she was meant to play. Amazing photos of an artist on the verge of a break through who unfortunately did not get the chance to level-up even further.

Complete set of nearly 2700 photos taken in three days by Bert Stein,just six weeks before Marilyn Monroe's death in August 1962.The photos are featured alongside DS car models, including a rare, bright-red DS 21 Cabriolet from 1966. Some of the photos truly are beautiful, but it's absolutely impossible to enjoy this book for all of Bert Stern's disgusting descriptions of what's gone on during the shoot. I also have lots of contempt for Stern for having published the photographs that Marilyn didn't approve of and had marked up.

The 12-hour photo shoot that ensued, and the following two sessions, yielded nothing short of magic; the series of 2,571 portraits revealed a Marilyn both shockingly unvarnished and utterly glamorous in wispy scarves, pink silk, birdcage veils, and an iconic black velour evening gown by Christian Dior. A little surface inky discoloration to upper edge of DJ and corner rubbing to jacket, light corner pushing to boards, bright and unmarked, very secure binding. The three-day session, which was arranged by Vogue and took place at the Los Angeles Bel Air Hotel, yielded nearly 2600 pictures - fashion, portrait and nude studies - of indescribable sensual and human vibrancy.This is an odd book because Bert Stern comes off as an "I coulda fucked her, but I didn't" sort of guy.
