Bert Stern was a self-taught fashion photographer from New York who specialized in celebrity portraits. Over the course of his career, he photographed Audrey Hepburn, Elyzabeth Taylor, Romy Schneider, Alain Delon, Catherine Deneuve, Madonna, Kate Moss... but above all Marilyn Monroe, on the occasion of the famous last session of Vogue magazine.
On June 23, 1962, the last photo shoot took place in suite 261 of the Bel Air Hotel in Los Angeles, which had been converted into a studio. In this color portrait, Marilyn Monroe wears a necklace of green, blue and white pearls, 'Marilyn With Beads'.
This shoot will live long in the memory as it took place just a few weeks before Marilyn's death in August 1962. Marilyn arrived four hours late and posed for the photographer for more than twelve hours. The photos with the pearl necklace are among the last in Bert Stern's series; Marilyn has drunk a lot of champagne, she is naked and starting to feel seriously exhausted.
