The Marilyn Portfolio

Bert Stern's *The Marilyn Portfolio* is a collection of seven archival pigment prints, printed later by Don Penny, published by Ralph Ginzburg in New York between 2008 and 2009. The works derive from Stern's legendary 1962 photographic sessions with Marilyn Monroe, famously known as "The Last Sitting," captured just weeks before her death. These luminous images preserve Monroe's iconic beauty and vulnerability, rendered with striking intimacy through Stern's masterful lens.
