About the Item

'Marilyn Monroe, 1962' by American photographer, Lawrence Schiller. Digital pigment, Ed. 12/35. Image: 17.25 x 12 in. / Paper: 20 x 15.25 in. From the set of the film 'Something's Got to Give', this colored photograph features Marilyn Monroe standing by a pool putting on her bathrobe. 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).
