The Edward Weston Collection


We are extremely excited to announce the release of a collection of intimate and iconic images of Marilyn Monroe...


This portfolio of eight iconic images is taken from the private collection of Edward Weston. As a famed art publisher, Weston built his extensive collection over five decades. A pioneer in collection Hollywood Glamour photography, he established it as a form of fine art over 50 years ago. Weston’s archive boats some of the most evocative images ever taken from the golden era, most notably of Marilyn Monroe.

This collection spans the career of the ultimate Hollywood star, from her early days as an actress in 1948, to her final photo shoot in 1962. These intimate and revealing portrayals were taken by some of Marilyn’s most trusted photographers; Laszlo Willinger, Andre De Dienes, Kashio Aoki and George Barris and celebrate her life beyond the movie set. 

With Marilyn I never fall out of love.
