Original Richard Avedon Portraits poster of Marilyn Monroe from
The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York - September 26, 2002 - January 3, 2003. Not displayed.

Image of Marilyn Monroe in New York City, May 6, 1957.
Richard Avedon said:
“For hours she danced and sang and flirted and did this thing that’s—she did Marilyn Monroe,” Avedon said later, adding that the white wine helped things along. “Then there was the inevitable drop … she sat in the corner like a child, with everything gone.” And he clicked his shutter once more. “I wouldn’t photograph her without her knowledge of it. And as I came with the camera, I saw that she was not saying no.” The resultant final frame is among the most famous portraits ever made—one that is, as the photographer Vik Muniz neatly put it, “a picture of Norma Jean, not Marilyn.”
