About the Item

This black-and-white photograph captures a candid moment of Marilyn Monroe at a glamorous gala during the 1950s. In the foreground, Monroe sits elegantly in her seat, surrounded by other well-dressed guests. The image is beautifully framed, with a blurred figure in motion passing by, creating a sense of movement and intimacy in the scene. The crowd behind her appears in soft focus, emphasizing Monroe’s presence as the focal point of the image. Her serene expression, framed by her platinum blonde hair and sparkling attire, exudes the charm and allure that made her one of Hollywood’s most iconic figures. The photograph captures the sophisticated atmosphere of mid-century Hollywood, where Monroe's star power shone brightly. Ed Feingersh photographed Marilyn Monroe for Redbook magazine in March 1955 for a story which would follow Monroe through her daily routine, the photography to be candid and shot without flash in available light. The photographs he made of her during the week March 24–30, 1955 as she prepares for two appearances; opening night of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof at the Morosco Theatre and being fitted with a burlesque corset for her ride on a pink elephant at a charity event at Madison Square Garden. (from Wikipedia) This is a unique silver gelatine print, made in 1988 from the original negative.
