Framing
Eve Arnold: Marilyn Monroe. We recommend book-mounting this print in a wide passe-partout and then framing it in a black wooden box. This classic method not only gives visual priority to the image but also fits seamlessly into most interiors. However, if you prefer a different look, other framing options are also available. Additionally, to ensure the highest levels of production, all of our frames are handcrafted to museum standards by one of the UK’s leading workshops. Please note that prices include tax, but exclude framing and shipping costs.

Artwork In Detail
Eve Arnold’s portraits of Marilyn Monroe propelled her into the spotlight. Working as a photographer on the set of ‘The Misfits’ in 1960, Arnold built a rare bond with Monroe and captured intimate moments that reveal vulnerability under the glamour. Earlier, in 1955, Arnold had photographed Monroe reading James Joyce’s ‘Ulysses’—one of the most demanding works in English literature. That image contrasted Monroe’s dazzling public persona with a quieter, introspective side, underscoring her intellectual depth. Over the course of their decade-long friendship, Arnold photographed Monroe six times. With each session, she uncovered the turbulence beneath the actress’s composed exterior, creating portraits that remain some of the most revealing and also iconic of Monroe’s life. Presented in collaboration with Magnum Photos.
