About the Item

Signed and stamped on the verso Milton Greene was a successful fashion and portrait photographer for Harper’s Bazaar and VOGUE when he first met and photographed Marilyn in 1953 for Look Magazine. In addition to countless photo sessions, Greene and Marilyn became so close that Marilyn actually moved in with Greene and his family for 2 years and they even formed a production company together. In 1999, TIME Magazine named the Ballerina Sitting photograph as one of the top three most famous photographs of the 20th Century.
