From the set of the film 'Something's Got to Give', this colored photograph features a closeup of Marilyn Monroe face and shoulders wearing a blue robe. In 1962, Schiller received an assignment from Paris Match to photograph Marilyn Monroe on the set of an upcoming film ‘Something’s Got To Give’. Using black and white and color film, Schiller captured some of the most striking yet intimate pictures of the Hollywood sex symbol. During the shoot, Marilyn jumped into the swimming pool in a flesh-colored bathing suit and returned to the surface with nothing on. The resulting photographs from this shoot immortalize Monroe’s persona in American culture and catapulted Schiller’s career as a photographer. Lawrence Schiller is an award-winning photographer, film director, and bestselling author. As a photographer, Schiller photographed important and notorious figures in American history including Marilyn Monroe, Lee Harvey Oswald, Muhammad Ali, and Richard Nixon. He began his career as a photojournalist for prestigious publications such as Life, Paris Match, The Sunday Times, and The Saturday Evening Post, capturing some of the most recognizable figures of the 1960s. Lawrence Schiller was born in 1936 in Brooklyn and grew up in San Diego. After graduating from Pepperdine College, he went to work as a freelance photographer for a variety of renowned magazines such as Life Magazine and the Saturday Evening Post. He’s published 18 books including LSD (1966), Marilyn (1973, in collaboration with Norman Mailer); and directed 7 motion pictures and miniseries for television. He has won 6 Emmys and 1 Oscar, including for The American Dreamer (1971), and The Executioner’s Song (1982).

Kenny Scharf, Boombox and Cadillac
By Allan Tannenbaum
Located in White Plains, NY
'Kenny Scharf, Boombox and Cadillac,' 1983 by famed American photographer, Allan Tannenbaum. Archival pigment print, 15 x 10 inch photo on 20 x 16 inch on the finest satin photo paper, Ed. of 50. This color photograph captures artist Kenny Scharf standing in front of his artwork on a cadillac and boombox at his 1983 exhibition at Tony Shafrazi Gallery. From the artists' 4th hardcover book 'Grit and Glamour: The Street Style, High Fashion, and Legendary Music of the 1970s,' published in 2016. This image was taken during Tannenbaum's tenure at The SoHo Weekly News in New York City from 1973 to 1982 where he served as Chief Photographer and Photo Editor. Allan Tannenbaum's career in photography spans more than four decades. Born in Passaic, New Jersey, in 1945, he received a B.A. in Art from Rutgers University in 1967, where he photographed for The Targum – the campus newspaper – and made films for his art courses. Gravitating to the nascent art scene in the SoHo district of Manhattan in 1972, Tannenbaum worked as a taxi driver and bartender while looking for work as a photographer. In 1973, when the SoHo Weekly News commenced publication, Tannenbaum became the Photo Editor and Chief Photographer. The newspaper started out as an eight-page free paper, but soon became a popular newsstand seller that rivaled the established Village Voice. Tannenbaum relentlessly covered the art world, music scene, politics, show business, and nightlife until 1982 when the SoHo News folded. Tannenbaum has also done documentary and feature photography in places like Thailand, Indonesia, Palau, Jordan, Bahrain, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Brazil, Israel, Iceland, and Mexico. He has covered numerous political campaigns, nominating conventions and news stories in the U.S. such as the Oklahoma City bombing and the Columbine massacre. His work has appeared in many photo books and exhibitions, as well as appearing regularly in NEWSWEEK, TIME, LIFE, ROLLING STONE, PARIS MATCH, and STERN. His photographs have graced the covers of TIME three times, and NEWSWEEK five times. He now works as an international photojournalist contributing to various noted publications including Time, Life, and Newsweek. He is the author of three books of his photography, including New York in the 70s (Feierabend, 2003), New York (Feierabend, 2004), and John and Yoko: A New York Love Story...
