Norman Mailer. Bert Stern. Marilyn Monroe
1300Three Legends
Monroe by Mailer and Stern
This book, conceived by Lawrence Schiller, Mailer’s collaborator on five works, combines the author’s masterful text with Stern’s penetrating images of the 36-year-old Marilyn. Photographed for Vogue magazine over three days at the Bel-Air Hotel, Marilyn had never allowed such unfettered access, nor had she looked so breathtakingly beautiful. Six weeks later, mysteriously, she was dead. In this bold synthesis of literary classic and legendary portrait sitting, Mailer and Stern lift the veils of confusion surrounding Monroe—the woman, the star, the sex symbol—and offer profound insight into an iconic figure whose true personality remains an enigma even today.
- Translations of Mailer’s text are available in German (the translation dates from 1992) and now for the first time in Spanish and French
- Limited to a total of 1,962 numbered copies signed by Bert Stern, this book is available as a Collector’s Edition (No. 251–1,962), and also in two Art Editions of 125 copies each (No. 1–250).
