Marilyn Monroe - From the "Last Shoot" by George Barris. Limited edition 14x11" color photo of Marilyn on the beach, wrapped in a towel and a glowing smile. Handsigned by photographer George Barris, with publisher's mark on the verso. Pulled from the archives of Edward Weston, the original art publisher, this is one of the only authorized, signed Barris prints from his legendary sessions with Marilyn, taken over a six-week period between June and July 18, 1962. Mint condition.
The collaboration between the respected international photo-journalist George Barris and Marilyn was intended to be the foundation of an autobiography and photo essay--Marilyn's life in her own words. Unfortunately, the sessions include the last photos exposed of Marilyn alive and well. The images have run in prestigious publications throughout the world and have been the subject of two books, one by Gloria Steinem and the other by Mr. Barris, who also contributed to Norman Mailer's speculative biography of Marilyn.
Estimated Value $700 - 800.
