Lot description
George Barris, Marilyn Monroe, from the "Last Photos" taken in 1962. Photo shoot was taken between June-July on Santa Monica beach, and at a private home in the Hollywood Hills, as part of story Barris was doing on Marilyn's life at 36. This was in addition to a collaborative book between Monroe and Barris, which would later come to fruition. Sadly these were some of the last photos ever taken of Marilyn Monroe.

This 16x20 was never printed as an edition and is 2/2 artist proofs.
