In seinem Vorwort erzählt Bert Stern vom Zustandekommen und Verlauf dieses ungewöhnlichen Phototermins. Die Lust am Spiel mit sich selbst in immer wieder neuen Rollen bleibt trotz mancher ernster Momente durchgängig spürbar, und so entstand zugleich ein einmaliges Dokument über die Erotik des Photographierens.

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. Book Condition: Very good, light shelf wear, head and tail of spine tanned, good binding, clean body and unmarked text.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.

Top-Star unter den amerikanischen Mode- und Werbephotographen der 60er Jahre, war der letzte, dem Marilyn, sechs Wochen vor ihrem Tod, einen Phototermin bewilligte. 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. 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.Bert Stern looks back on that momentous sitting, offering a revealing, naked portrait of Marilyn the person -- of a vulnerable, confused woman who although at the apex of her career, had relinquished control of her life -- and of the fashion world of the early 1960s, with its new openness towards drugs, sex, and art. The photo shoot was commissioned by Vogue magazine in late June 1962, taking place over three daily sessions, just six weeks before she died. But more than a comprehensive display of Stern's immeasurable talents, these photographs combine to create an homage to America's first goddess.
