"MARILYN IN VOGUE, SEPTEMBER 15, 1962" SIGNED EXCLUSIVE 10/25 - $70K APPRAISAL VALUE!
ITEM DESCRIPTION:
One extraordinarily rare photograph of Marilyn Monroe for Vogue from the commissioned editorial “The Last Sitting”, was photographed in 1962. This series was done right before she passed away. This photograph was taken by the world's famous photographer Bert Stern. The photograph is signed and numbered by Bert Stern. This is likely the first rarest edition of this photograph that exists.
Our edition has only 25 pieces. This is one of the first 10 that were made. It has a 10/25 edition of information written by the artist in the bottom left corner. This piece is extraordinarily rare. It was sold at Southeby’s at an auction circa 1970, which also proves that it was one of the first editions. At that time it sold for over $3,500. The only photograph similar to ours that is available elsewhere is one that was a much later addition, it was sold 25 years later and was from an edition of almost 500 bought for $10,500. Our photograph of Monroe will come with a certificate and appraisal with the Southeby’s label and appraisal for $70,000.
"The Last Sitting" is Bert Stern's seminal series, documenting the last few days of Marilyn Monroe's life. This photograph is from "The Last Sitting", and this print is the 10th of the only 25 ever made, as numbered on the bottom-left corner of the print.
Over the course of three days in July of 1962, Stern captured over 2,500 images of the starlet as part of their shoot commissioned by Vogue. The intimate and iconic series ran in Vogue's September issue following her death. In 1982, Stern released the full series as a book, titled "The Last Sitting". This limited edition was released in tandem with the book's publication.
Marilyn Monroe (1926-1962) Model, actress, singer, and arguably one of the most famous women of the twentieth century. Monroe has become an iconic representative of fame and female beauty. She is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in American culture.
Bert Stern (1929–2013) was considered to be one of the most important photographers of fashion and celebrities. His best-known work may be The Last Sitting, a collection of 2,500 photographs of Marilyn Monroe, shot over three days—just six weeks before she died—and published in Vogue.
