Bert Stern: Marilyn Monroe: The Complete Last Sitting

Product Information

In 2008 Stern shot recreations of the images used by Vogue—with actress Lindsay Lohan as the model—for the February 25, 2008 issue of New York. By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions. The photo shoot was commissioned by Vogue magazine in late June 1962, taking place over three daily sessions, just six weeks before she died. 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.

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. 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. Amazing photos of an artist on the verge of a break through who unfortunately did not get the chance to level-up even further. On a late June afternoon in 1962, Marilyn Monroe arrived at the Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles — alone, five hours late, ready to remove her makeup, clothing, and inhibitions for the camera of legendary photographer Bert Stern.A poor condition book can still make a good reading copy but is generally not collectible unless the item is very scarce.

Beginning today, visitors to the Paris exhibition hall (and car dealer) DS World can experience the elegance and vulnerability of Stern’s series in the exhibition “ Marilyn, the Last Sitting,” on view until January 6, 2018. The Russian figure skater will be stripped of any titles, awards, and prizes earned after her positive sample was collected, including Olympic medals. Over the course of his career, Stern changed the landscape of fashion and advertising photography by creating dynamic, stand-alone images that no longer existed simply to serve the text. This is an odd book because Bert Stern comes off as an "I coulda fucked her, but I didn't" sort of guy.But if you take the commentary with a grain of salt, it's a fascinating and oddly heartbreaking series of photos. 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. In seinem Vorwort erzählt Bert Stern vom Zustandekommen und Verlauf dieses ungewöhnlichen Phototermins.

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. But more than a comprehensive display of Stern's immeasurable talents, these photographs combine to create an homage to America's first goddess. 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. Im Juni 1962 im Bel-Air Hotel in Los Angeles entstandener "groß angelegter Porträtzyklus mit Marilyn Monroe, . 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 photos are featured alongside DS car models, including a rare, bright-red DS 21 Cabriolet from 1966. 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 fact this was later released again as "The Complete Last Sitting", presumably with even more photos she didn't wan the world to see.

Corners pushed, small puncture tear to lower front corner of jacket, lower corner of final pages curling a little and showing previous usage wear, bright and unmarked, very secure binding. 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. 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. 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.
