réf. 32820468Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe at the beginning of her career. Signed by the photographer in silver ink. Ed Clark was a top photographer for Life magazine in the 1940s 50s and 60s. In 1950 he received a call from a friend at 20th Century Fox wondering if he wanted to photograph "a hot tomato" the little-known 24 year-old actress Marilyn Monroe. Her film career had just begun to gain momentum: three months earlier Monroe had appeared as a crooked lawyer's girlfriend in The Asphalt Jungle. Two months later she had a small role as an aspiring starlet in All About Eve. In a 1999 interview Clark recalled "She was almost unknown then so I was able to spend a lot of time shooting her." "We'd go out to Griffith Park in Los Angeles and she'd read poetry. I sent several rolls to LIFE in New York but they wired back 'Who the hell is Marilyn Monroe'" Printed later by Clark. Ektacolor print. 14 x 11 in. Minor faults in the negative. Fine.

FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- Text in German and English. 176 pp. -- with a bonus offer--; With his brutal post-industrial music theatrical makeup and controversial lyrics about serial killers and Satanism shock rocker Marilyn Manson has stood as an icon for a generation of dispossessed teens. It is less well known that Manson has been painting pictures since 1999. Genealogies of Pain presents 30 of his paintings executed over the past ten years. Manson's portraits of cartoonish characters are rendered in delicate pastel colors but the subject matter accords with his notoriously morbid aesthetic: one figure gnaws off his own fingers another wears a gas mask. This volume pairs Manson with filmmaker David Lynch who has also made a living out of mining mankind's darkest carnal fears. Included here are stills from four of Lynch's early short experimental films Six Men Getting Sick The Grandmother The Amputee and The Alphabet which employ similar themes of physical and psychological trauma. An interview with Manson explores his techniques and relevant art historical traditions.; 386984129X . Moderne Kunst Nurnberg hardcover

réf. 114025Rare original 1957 Woodbury Savings Bank financial statement signed by both Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller in the beginning of their five-year marriage. One page partially printed the statement is dated September 9 1957 and lists the couple's joint annual income as $50000 total expenses as $30000 or - and amount of life insurance as $50000. The preparer has also listed Monroe as self-employed and President of Marilyn Monroe Production with a suit pending against the company as a corporation. Monroe and Miller's ages are also listed respectively as 31 and 41. Signed at the conclusion of the document "Arthur Miller" and "Marilyn Monroe Miller." In very good condition. Accompanied by a mimeograph of the loan agreement for $35000 for which the statement was prepared. After filming for The Seven Year Itch wrapped up in November 1954 Monroe left Hollywood for the East Coast where she and photographer Milton Greene founded their own production company Marilyn Monroe Productions MMP. Monroe asserted that she was no longer under contract to Fox as it had not fulfilled its duties such as paying her the promised bonus beginning a year-long legal battle between her and Fox in January 1955. After founding MMP Monroe moved to Manhattan and spent 1955 studying acting where she began dating actor Marlon Brando and playwright Arthur Miller. On June 29 Monroe and Miller were married at the Westchester County Court in White Plains New York; two days later they had a Jewish ceremony at the home of Kay Brown Miller's literary agent in Waccabuc New York. With the marriage Monroe converted to Judaism which led Egypt to ban all of her films. Due to Monroe's status as a sex symbol and Miller's image as an intellectual the media saw the union as a mismatch as evidenced by Variety's headline "Egghead Weds Hourglass." Monroe and Miller separated after the filming of Lets Make Love in 1960 after both carried on extramarital affairs Monroe with her co-star Yves Montand and Miller with set photographer Inge Morath. unknown

1962réf. 151448London: Jonathan Cape 1962. First edition of the ninth novel in Ian Fleming’s James Bond series. Octavo original black cloth. Boldly signed by eleven cast members of the 1977 film adaptation on the title page and facing page including: Roger Moore Caroline Munro Olga Bisera Sue Vanner Shane Rimmer Eva Rueber-Staier Marilyn Galsworthy Valerie Leon Edward de Souza Vernon Dobtcheff and director John Glen. Fine in a near fine dust jacket with light toning and rubbing. Written with Vivienne Michel. Jacket design by Richard Chopping. A unique example. In light of the novel's immense presence as a classic thriller it's amusing to learn that it was at first poorly received. The novel was banned in several countries due to its heightened sexual writing. The reception was so bad that Fleming wrote to Michael Howard of the Jonathan Cape publishing company to explain why he wrote the book: "I had become increasingly surprised to find my thrillers which were designed for an adult audience being read in schools and that young people were making a hero out of James Bond . So it crossed my mind to write a cautionary tale about Bond to put the record straight in the minds particularly of younger readers . the experiment has obviously gone very much awry" Chancellor 2005. Upon Fleming's request no reprints were made until after his death in 1964. It was the basis for the tenth film in the James Bond series starring Roger Moore Barbara Bach and Curt Jürgens. It was directed by Lewis Gilbert and the screenplay was written by Christopher Wood and Richard Maibaum. Jonathan Cape hardcover
