Bert Stern
Aroused from The Last Sitting

1962, printed at later date

About the Item

This piece is an original chromogenic print that was hand developed from the original negative by Bert Stern. This photo is part of The Last Sitting portfolio, taken six weeks before Marilyn Monroe’s death in 1962 and published in the 1970s. This sitting took place over three days at the Bel Air Hotel in Los Angeles and yielded over 2,500 images. Ten images were selected for the portfolio and printed in a limited edition of 250. The edition was broken up in half: 125 portfolios have a glossy finish and the other 125 portfolios have a matte finish, making a total 250 portfolios plus some artist proofs. The glossy pieces had to be numbered on the back, which is why you see a variation in the placement of the edition numbers. This piece is hand signed and numbered from the edition of 250 on the back and bears the 1962 Bert Stern/ Edward Weston copyright. The image measures 19 x 18.5 inches and the sheet measures 24 x 20 inches. The framed dimensions are 27.5 x 26 inches.

  • Cindy's Shotgun Wedding
    By David Yarrow
    Located in Denver, CO
    David Yarrow has built an unrivaled reputation for capturing the beauty of the planet’s remote landscapes, cultures and endangered animals. Born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1966, he is now an internationally acclaimed fine art photographer and Europe’s best selling wildlife photographer. "You don't get a second chance to work withCindy Crawford, so there was obviously a little pressure. I took her to a place I know well -the ghost town of Nevada City,Montana as I hoped familiarity with the light and the angles would help me. I needed as many variables under my control as possible on an ambitious story line. The one thing we could not manage or predict was the weather and last week it was cold.If Cindy was outside her comfort zone with the temperatures so low and a big wolf as a companion, she did not flinch. She is professional, stoic and game and it was an honour to work with a true American idol. She sets a high bar on so many levels.It was a big effort for her to fly from LA to hang out with me and my team whom she had never met before and then work in freezing temperatures with some big wolves. She never complained and took no fee at all. Quite amazing.Proceeds from the sales of this image -Cindy’s Shotgun Wedding...
