Marilyn Monroe 100 is the only official publication celebrating and commemorating the centenary of Marilyn Monroe’s birth. Published in association with the Marilyn Monroe Estate, this stunning book brings together specially curated sections of work by the best photographers who collaborated with Monroe during her lifetime, including some of the greatest names in the art of photography.
André de Dienes, Joseph Jasgur and Bernard of Hollywood unveil early images of a young Norma Jeane; John Florea and Philippe Halsman showcase stunning publicity shots of an aspiring actress; Eve Arnold, Elliott Erwitt, Bruce Davidson and Henri Cartier-Bresson capture Marilyn on the sets of some of her most famous films; Cecil Beaton and Richard Avedon portray the actress’s alluring beauty; and the candid photography of Alfred Eisenstaedt, Sam Shaw, George Barris and Milton Greene reveal another side to the Hollywood icon. The book ends with Bert Stern’s ‘Last Sitting’ along with recently rediscovered images of a radiant and smiling Monroe taken from a photo shoot for Life magazine by Allan Grant, originally published two days before the star’s death.
Alongside this sumptuous exhibit of Marilyn’s life, a selection of fascinating quotes by Monroe herself, as well as texts by scholars and admirers, chronicles the life of a woman with a unique persona who was a trailblazer ahead of her time. Looking back over the past 100 years, it becomes apparent just how avant-garde Marilyn Monroe truly was.
