Bert Stern
Marilyn Monroe: From "The Last Sitting Ⓡ", 1962 (Avant-Garde Magazine)

1962

About the Item

From 1968 through 1971, 14 issues of a graphic design-focused magazine called Avant-Garde were published. The magazine had a small circulation but was very popular in New York art and design circles. Bert Stern's photographs from “The Last Sitting” were included in one issue, and he became very interested in the rotogravure printing process used to print the magazine and he was allowed to use the printer to do some experimental prints. These rotogravure prints were made with many different combinations of colors and so therefore many are unique. In 2007, Staley-Wise Gallery and Bert Stern decided to offer them for sale. Because of the unique nature of each print, they were not sold in a limited edition but only 14 prints were signed by the photographer and sold before he passed away. Only a handful of signed prints remain available, including this one shown.
