Bert Stern, the famous commercial and fashion photographer of the 60s, was the last to be granted a sitting by Marilyn Monroe six weeks before her tragic death. 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. And yet these few photographs ineradicably shaped our image of Marilyn Monroe. This book presents the complete set of 2,571 photos. The monumental body of work by the master photographer and the Hollywood actress marks a climax in the history of star photography, both in quantity and quality. It is a unique affirmation of the erotic dimension of photography and the eroticism of taking photos, and it is the world’s finest and largest tribute to Marilyn Monroe.

Hardcover. Condizione: gut. 2000. Bert Stern (geb. 1930), Top-Star unter den amerikanischen Mode- und Werbephotographen der 60er Jahre, war der letzte, dem Marilyn, sechs Wochen vor ihrem Tod, einen Phototermin bewilligte. 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. Bert Sterns gewaltiger Bilderschatz beeindruckt aber nicht nur durch Quantität. Einmal mehr bewies Marilyn hier ihr legendäres Talent als begnadetes Photomodell. Die Lust am Spiel mit sich selbst in immer wieder neuen Rollen bleibt trotz mancher ernster Momente durchgängig spürbar, und so entstand zugleich ein einmaliges Dokument über die Erotik des Photographierens. In seinem Vorwort erzählt Bert Stern vom Zustandekommen und Verlauf dieses ungewöhnlichen Phototermins. Seit der ersten Ausgabe von 1982 sind immer wieder einzelne verloren geglaubte oder verschollene Bilder des »Last Sitting« entdeckt worden. Sie in diese Neuauflage zu integrieren war aus rechtlichen Gründen nicht möglich. Mit einem Augenzwinkern gestehen wir daher, dass der Titel des Buches aus heutiger Sicht genau genommen »The Almost Complete Last Sitting« heißen müsste. Annie Gottlieb ist freiberufliche Schriftstellerin mit dem Schwerpunkt Psychologie. Sie arbeitet für viele Zeitschriften, unter anderem Mirabella, McCall's, die New York Times Book Review sowie die New York Times. Bert Stern hat nicht nur der Monroe sondern auch sich selbst mit diesem sensiblen Meisterstück das eigene Denkmal gesetzt. Nie zuvor wurde Marilyn Monroe so abgelichtet, nie hatte sie sich bei einer Fotosession einem Fotografen so geöffnet wie in diesem ihrem "Last Sitting". Stern beschreibt die Vorbereitung zu diesem legendären Shooting in einem kurzen Vorwort und lässt uns wissen, dass eine nicht unerhebliche Menge Alkohols von Nöten war, die Diva zu den erotischten Fotos zu überreden, die je mit ihr gemacht wurden. Sie wusste natürlich schon während ihrer gesamten Karriere, sich fotogen in Szene zu setzen, aber während dieses Shootings flirtete sie in einer bis dahin noch nicht dagewesenen Weise mit der Kamera, dass es einem wahrhaftig den Atem rauben kann. Die Vogue - Auftragsfotos im ersten Teil dieses Buches kann man getrost übergehen, da wird Couture der frühen 60er routiniert präsentiert, was aber in der Privatsession zwischen Stern und Monroe passierte, ist von ganz anderer Qualität und nur schwer in Worte zu fassen. Die vielfach zu diesem Werk geäusserten Kritiken an den Bildqualitäten sind völlig belanglos und tragen der visuellen Kraft der Fotos eher bei als sie zu schmälern. Wer die Monroe verehrt, und das sind auch noch heute fast fünfzig Jahre nach ihrem Tode sehr viele, der muss sich dieses Meisterwerk zwingend holen. Marilyn Monroe was one of them of the most photographed women of her day, and this book is a fascinating example of how photographs managed to capture the beauty of a woman both in her prime, but also very close to the end of her life. The book contains every single photograph taken by Bert Stern in the course of 3 photographic sittings he had with Marilyn in June 1962 (she died in August 62). Some of the photographs were printed in an abridged version - called 'The Last Sitting' which was first published circe 1982. The text in this book is the same as in that version - Mr Stern sets the scene for the photographs, explains his feelings towards his subject and gives us a good insight into Marilyns talent as a photographic model. At times he does talk about Marilyn in a very objective way, letting his fantasies surface and almost implying that it was his decision not to sleep with her, but on the whole he displays respect and admiration. When he hears of her death his shock and sadness almost transport you back in time - you can imagine what it must have been like when she died, and the photos are all the more haunting because of this. The photos themselves are the main reason for buying this book, and they make it worth the expense. I found it quite fascinating seeing every single picture that Stern took - seeing so many photographs you can't help but be drawn in. At times Marilyn looks stunningly beautiful, too beautfiful to be real almost. In other she looks scared, a little lost and somewhat pensive (though she may have just been knackered). I'm sure that part of the interest in these photos is the knowledge that she would soon be dead - this feeling of the tragic loss of a beautiful woman who had achieved so much is bound to affect how you view this book. The book jacket describes it as a monumental tribute to Monroe, and I would agree with this description. Zusatzinfo 2571 Fotos, davon 375 farb.
