The Last Sitting
OCLC 8345846 | | |
The Last Sitting is a book and photo shoot of Marilyn Monroe by photographer Bert Stern. The photo shoot was commissioned by Vogue magazine in late June 1962, taking place over three daily sessions, just six weeks before she died.
Bert Stern published The Last Sitting in 1982. The book included many of the over 2,500 images that Stern had shot, including
contact sheets
with images Monroe had disliked and crossed out.
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.[1]
