Offered here is an extraordinary, museum-caliber Marilyn Monroe collection comprising eight individually signed photographic prints from The Last Photos, the final professional photo shoot of Marilyn Monroe, captured in 1962 by legendary Hollywood photographer George Barris. Each image in this striking framed presentation is signed by Barris, discreetly placed at an angle on each photograph, and professionally matted and framed for display.
This is Museum Edition #8 of only 10 examples produced, drawn from an already limited series of just 99. Notably, only ten sets were created specifically for museum acquisition, making this an exceptionally sought after Barris-Marilyn offering. This exact piece originates from a private collection and is accompanied by its original receipt and bill of sale, documenting an initial purchase price of approximately $13,000 in 2008, further strengthening its provenance and collector confidence.
Captured just weeks before her passing, The Last Photos are widely regarded as the most intimate, natural, and historically significant images of Marilyn Monroe ever taken. Shot on the beaches of Santa Monica, the photographs reveal Monroe in a rare moment of calm and vulnerability, unposed, luminous, and timeless. These images have since become iconic, representing not only the end of an era but the enduring legacy of one of the most celebrated figures in American cultural history.
Museum-designated Barris sets of this caliber almost never surface on the open market, especially with complete documentation, uniform signatures, and high-end framing already executed. This is a true centerpiece artifact, equally suited for a private collection, institutional display, or investment-grade archive.
