About the Item

This piece is a pigment print from the original negative, shot by Milton Greene in 1955. This photograph of Marilyn Monroe is from a photoshoot which became known as "The Pekingese Dog Sitting" because Marilyn was accompanied by her hair stylist's dog during other photographs from the same series. Marilyn was shot in a gorgeous Bill Blass gown which became an integral part of the series. This black gown juxtaposed with the stark red background make these photographs hard to forget. These photographs were seen for the first time in 2013 after being locked away and unpublished for over 50 years until Andrew Weiss Gallery acquired the original negatives and rights. This piece is numbered on the backside from the edition of 95. It measures 24 x 16 inches and the framed dimensions are 31.5 x 23.5 inches.
