Norman Mailer. Bert Stern. Marilyn Monroe
Norman Mailer's 1973 biography Marilyn is perhaps the best profile of the '50s sex symbol. Bert Stern's "Last Sitting" photos, taken just weeks before her untimely death, are considered some of the most intimate portraits of Monroe. The two works are blended together by Mailer's frequent collaborator Lawrence Schiller in Norman Mailer. Bert Stern. Marilyn Monroe. Combining Mailer's words with Stern's images, it's a haunting tribute to the American icon, presented here in an oversized format that's ideal for casual browsing.
