Der Prachtband ist insgesamt altersentsprechend noch gut erhalten, nur vorsichtig gelesen, weist jedoch deutlichere Gebrauchsspuren außen auf (am Papier-Schutzumschlag Kratzerchen, leichte Randläsuren, zwei Einrisse sauber von hinten geklebt, eine verfärbte Stelle auf der Rückseite, Schiebespuren/Kratzerchen am Buchschnitt …). Die Seiten innen sind sauber, selbstverständlich KEINE Eintragungen, KEINE losen Seiten o.ä. Begehrte TOP-RARITÄT, deshalb leider teurer. Schneller Versand aus Deutschland - nachverfolgbar mit Sendungsnummer. 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.…

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 picturesfashion, portrait, and nude studiesof 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 worlds finest and largest tribute to Marilyn Monroe.
