Bert Stern is the photographer known worldwide for a series unforgettable of over 2500 photographs taken at Marilyn Monroe in 1962 at the Bel-Air hotel in Hollywood, during three days of work that Vogue magazine selects and publishes immediately after the death of the actress. The complete work is printed in Stern’s book Marilyn Monroe The Complete Last Sitting and contains what are considered to be the last images of the star in life.
In general he is one of the most original, creative and successful photographers of the sixties, indicated by the New York Times as “the elite commercial photographer who helped redefine the art of advertising and fashion”.
Stern is an icon hunter and manages to capture several of the most fascinating women of the twentieth century Audrey Hepburn, Madonna, Elizabeth Taylor on the set of Cleopatra, as well as Marilyn Monroe.
