Duncan Miller Gallery announces its upcoming exhibition of Marilyn Monroe photographs from October 21 - November 26, 2011. On display are the poignant and beautiful photographs of Marilyn Monroe taken while making the movie “Something’s Got to Give” in 1962. This was her last professional photo session.
The world was unprepared for the moment when Marilyn jumped in the swimming pool in a flesh-colored bikini and came out of the water au natural. She was radiantly smiling and in her element: the sexual goddess, posing for eternity. Two months after celebrating her birthday on this film set, Marilyn died.
These legendary images that survived (Marilyn would cut up the negatives she didn't like) have been displayed in New York, China, Bulgaria, Salzburg, Berlin, Miami and London. The large scale (48" x 60") photographs are now available in Los Angeles.
Although later becoming a New York Times best-selling author and director of fifteen films, Brooklyn-born Lawrence Schiller started his career as a photojournalist for Life, The Sunday Times, Time, Newsweek and The Saturday Evening Post.
Additional photographs of Marilyn by selected photographers will also be on display.
Opening reception Oct 21, 2011 7-9 pm
