About the Item

This piece is a cibachrome print from the original transparency, shot by Milton Greene in 1953. Marilyn Monroe collaborated with Milton Greene in September of 1953 for this photoshoot, shortly after she finished filming for her hit film, "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes". After Monroe saw the proofs from this shoot, she was blown away. She sent two dozen roses and a letter to Greene, stating that the images were the most beautiful she had ever seen. However, these rare photographs were passed over and remained unpublished until 2013 when Andrew Weiss Gallery acquired the original negatives and rights. This piece bears the Milton H. Greene stamp on the backside, as well as the Andrew Weiss Gallery stamp. It is also numbered on the backside from the edition of 50. This piece measures 30 x 30 inches and is unframed.

Milton Greene, "05" from The Pekingese Dog Sitting

Located in Chatsworth, CA
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 These photographs were seen for the first time in 2013 after being locked away and unpublished for over 50 years until Andrew Weiss Gallery...
