In einer dreitägigen Session, die für die amerikanische Vogue arrangiert worden war und im Juni 1962 im Bel-Air Hotel in Los Angeles stattfand, entstanden fast 2700 Mode-, Portrait- und Aktaufnahmen, von denen damals kaum mehr als 20 veröffentlicht wurden.

Vogue published The Last Sitting series one day after Monroe’s death, giving the public an intimate portrait of the star in the wake of tragedy.Notable exhibitions of his work include “I Wanna Be Loved By You: Photographs of Marilyn Monroe” shown at the Brooklyn Museum of Art and “The Last Sitting” at the Musée Maillol in Paris. Slipcase Condition: Good, pictorial covers, foot of spine torn, top edge age-toned, age-toned extremities, bumped edges, rubbed covers, lightly chipped corners. The three-day session yielded nearly 2,600 pictures-fashion, portrait, and nude studies-of indescribable sensual and human vibrancy, of which no more than 20 were published.

The Russian figure skater will be stripped of any titles, awards, and prizes earned after her positive sample was collected, including Olympic medals.With a photo shoot that took place in 1962 just weeks before the actress’ death, Stern later compiled his image into the photobook Marilyn Monroe: The Complete Last Sitting, first published in 1982. In 2008 Stern shot recreations of the images used by Vogue—with actress Lindsay Lohan as the model—for the February 25, 2008 issue of New York.
