Marilyn Monroe Ballerina - NYC - 1954 - B-19

Bring to life your empty walls and create stimulating conversation by bringing home a print from the collection of legendary photographer, Milton H. Greene. Perfect gift for that classic movie enthusiast, Marilyn Monroe fanatic, or art collector. Authenticated by the photographer's son and apprentice, Joshua Greene.

This image from the 'Ballerina' series, one of Milton and Marilyn's most recognized collaborations was taken in 1954 at Milton's New York City studio when Marilyn arrived for the opening of the "Seven Year Itch." Clothing designer, Ann Klein, sent various outfits to Milton's studio for Marilyn Monroe to wear, however all the outfits were two sizes too small. All of the poses in this sitting amusingly deal with Marilyn's problem of holding up the ill-fitting toule and satin dress. The most recognized image from this sitting was chosen as one of Time-Life's 3 most popular images of the 20th Century along with Albert Einstein (photographer Phillipe Halsman) and Winston Churchill (photographer Yousuf Karsh).

All printing is done in house with the Hewlett Packard Designjet Z3200 printer with 12-pigmented inks. These prints are scientifically rated to last 200 years!
