Marilyn Monroe 1926-1962
While we await the results of today’s Essentially Marilyn auction at Profiles in History, I can report that in yesterday’s online photo sale at Julien’s, a 1949 photo of a swimsuit-clad Marilyn (signed by Lazslo Willinger) and another pair of pin-ups from 1953 sold for $5,120 each; and a bathroom tile, part of the Mexican decor Marilyn chose for her last home, sold for $2,560.
Photos of Marilyn – signed by photographers William Carroll, Laszlo Willinger, Kashio Aoki, Milton Greene, Bert Stern and George Barris – plus paparazzi shots from events such as Ray Anthony’s ‘My Marilyn’ party, are up for bids at an online sale at Julien’s Auctions on December 10. A bathroom tile from her final home is also on offer, with an estimate of $2,000-$2,5000. (And don’t forget the Essentially Marilyn auction at Profiles in History on December 11.)
