Elevate your collection with this captivating piece of Hollywood history. This exquisite black and white reproduction photograph captures an intimate moment with Marilyn Monroe on the rooftop of New York's Ambassador Hotel in 1955, shot by acclaimed photographer Ed Feingersh during his renowned "Week with Marilyn" series for Redbook magazine.
In this powerful image, Monroe leans playfully against a ledge overlooking Manhattan's skyline, her iconic blonde hair tousled by the breeze. The photograph masterfully captures her magnetic charisma and vulnerability against the dramatic backdrop of mid-century New York architecture.
This photograph represents a pivotal moment in Monroe's career, taken shortly after her relocation to New York to study at the Actor's Studio under Lee Strasberg. During this period, Monroe was reinventing herself, seeking artistic legitimacy beyond her bombshell image - making this photograph not merely a celebrity portrait but a document of cultural transition in American entertainment history.
Professionally matted and framed in a sleek black gallery frame that enhances the photograph's timeless quality, this piece brings the glamour of Hollywood's golden age into your home. The overall dimensions are 23.75" x 20" x 1", making it a substantial yet versatile addition to your wall decor.
